Re: Camera Initialization Lags robot

yeah, if the camera code hasn't finished we found the same issuse of timeouts and other bad things happening to the robot (took a whole 1.5 hours of our testing time to figure out it was the camera ). The problem seems to be WPILib's internal handling of errors and their lack of a limiter on number of errors per second. It looks like the I/O gets overwhelmed and code slows down
