Delayed Robot Reactions
Our team has built a practice bot this year and we are using a 2005 radio.

Sometimes the robot runs just fine, we drive it around... the battery runs down... we replace the battery... and then it starts "lagging"

It is still controllable, but everything is delayed. We ran a whole bunch of tests to diagnose the problem, and then for some mysterious reason it started functioning normally.

The robot also "lags" when tethered.

In my opinion the problem has something to do with changing the battery, since whenever we have done this the problem has returned.

I'm not the programmer, I'll get him to explain more...
