Robot Drive Not Running Fast Enough

There are a few common reasons for this that I sort of brush over.

For instance, while the default code running at startup doesn't typically throw any "too slow" errors, it will during autonomous because the motors aren't used in there by default.
However if the identical code is run in debug with all it's attendant front panels and comms back to the laptop we might see one "too slow" message during initialization. More msgs will appear as we just drag any front panel around.

Another possible cause might be the addition of code somewhere that takes longer to initialize, for instance a Gyro that has a default calibration time of 2 seconds.
