Tracking down a stuttering JAG/CAM drive.

You could certainly make this much more efficient.
Only call them once and only once each time the DS switch is thrown, not 50 times a second...

In general, don't call things when you don't have to and it'll save you a lot of wasted time and grief.
You will have to call things like your drive motors every time a new driver packet arrives, because those inputs change rapidly.
Other things controlled by a button or switch generally do not have to be called so often. Just when the switch or button changes.
