Re: robot speed scaling different
Thank you for your reply. The timer not running is not the problem, it seems, because other functions on the robot (relays, whathaveyou) work at the right time. It is just that the drive pwm's are not even approaching as fast as they should be going, and the power for the motors must be put at the highest setting it can go to get a snails pace during autonomous period.

I will still give it a try, though. I will also try switching the output ports in the code and hookups to see if that makes a difference....

UPDATE: The robot seems to have recovered from the problem, but I don't know what caused it. If anyone else figures it out, that would be cool.

It will 'cause it can!

constants aren't. variables won't.
