We currently have a button we push that resets our arm.
we'd like to incorporate that into our drive routine such that we can push the button and then continue driving around.

you need to do something like this (my robotc is a little rusty)

var button-pressed

if button1 = 1
     { button-pressed = 1}
      ELSE {}
if button-pressed = 1
     { if arm > goal
          {armdown}
         ELSE
          {armstop
            button-pressed = 0}
     }
     ELSE {}

That part we have. The difficult part is that the DC motor runs with a time interval and so we are in a time dependent while loop so we can't access our button. we'd like to run a time dependent loop while at the same accessing the signals of the controller.
