[FTC]: Lag and Teleop (Labview)
Greetings,

My team seems to be having a recurring issue. Every year we have to fight lag in our FTC robots. It seems to me that the robot isn't checking for the position of the controls often enough. The robot misses quick corrections while driving and may take up to 2 seconds to respond to commands.

My students are thinking that we are overloading the NXT with commands and the packets are being dropped. I am not sold on this explanation considering we are only using 1 touch sensor, 2 encoders, 4 DC motors (skid drive) 1 Lego motor and 6 servos. I have a hard time believing that our hardware is so... anemic that this would be too much for it.

So I have two questions: 1. Is anyone else having this issue? 2. Would someone with experience be willing to look at our code to see what is going on? (I will post it as soon as I can figure out how...)

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
