Funny, the guy we had holding our kill switch seemed oddly fascinated with the robots attempt to kill our teachers 7 year old son, so fascinated he held the switch tightly, preventing us from intervening and killing it. Until of course we realized we could just..unplug the dongle...yeeeeah.

I'm assuming you meant 1 cycle = 26.2ms

I'm not sure where you got 40ms, but my memory is bad, and I remember two loops running in the RC, perhaps you're referring to a separate one than I am.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
