If the code above makes sense, though, I would encourage you to explore the IterativeRobot template. The teleop code works in a similar fashion: teleopInit() gets called once when teleop is enabled and teleopPeriodic() gets called every 20 ms for you (so avoid loops that don't exit quickly and do not use Timer.delay() to pause your code). Also, the 20 ms is just a great approximation...the loop timing is reallllly close to every 20 ms (certainly close enough for what we're doing).

If you do switch back to SampleRobot, then you will need the loops and the calls to Timer.delay().

Keep plugging away at it and keep asking questions. ChiefDelphi is full of people that want to help

Sweet maybe after the build season I will explore the Iterative robot but I would like to try and keep it basic this year seeing as I am new to this whole thing.
