You should surround the code you currently have in the operatorControl method with a loop:

while(isOperatorControl() && isEnabled())
{
}

Instead of using a while loop for your entire code, you could try using "iterative robot". You can do this by clicking the "new project" icon in the top left-ish area (it looks like a cardboard box). Then click "FRC Java" entry in the left pane, and the "IterativeRobotTemplateProject" in the right hand pane. Click "Next". The next step should have 5 text fields you can edit. I recommend editing the top, which is the Project Name. I leave the rest alone. Click finish.

It's pretty much the same thing as using the simple robot project, and a while loop, however with iterative robot, your "RobotTemplate" class is looped at a speed which is controlled by the robot. It loops at about 20 times per second if i remember correctly.

This is what robot template should look like:

package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates;


import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.IterativeRobot;

/**

 */
public class RobotTemplate extends IterativeRobot {
    /**
     * This function is run when the robot is first started up and should be
     * used for any initialization code.
     */
    public void robotInit() {

    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during autonomous
     */
    public void autonomousPeriodic() {

    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during operator control
     */
    public void teleopPeriodic() {
        
    }
    
}

At this point I would make separate classes for your teleoperated, and your autonomous code, and call them under the "teleopPeriodic()" and the "autonomousPeriodic()" methods respectively.

Hope this helps!
