Yes, the telopPeriodic method in java in the IterativeRobot template must execute within 20ms.

There are a few things you can do to work around this.
1) Use the Simple Robot template
2) Use a state machine.
2a) Switch to the command framework (which uses a state machine). See http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...nomous-program
3) Run the code in a new Task. This would be equivalent to Periodic Tasks in LabVIEW.
