that is exactly what i was thinking.
it is sending out pulses. that would be the same as pushing the button really fast.
like for example: if you are sending pulses that drive your robot forward but making the robot "pulse" forward. wouldnt that be legal? because each pulse it doing one action that drives the robot forward a little but. so holding it or pressing it really fast would be the same and drive the bot forward.
