Re: How can you figure out robot speed?!?!

Don't assume that the default routine runs at any speed. It can vary from 26.2ms at the minimum up to nearly half a second (before you trigger the Blinking Red Light of Death). Instead, use one of the four available PIC timer modules. Look around for information on how to use them to tell time...
