I understand enough that long loops would be bad in this environment. Do I use waits and loops in the execute method? Then use the isFinished() command or a condition of the loop to end the code. What happens the loop was running still when the execute method is called again and again. Or do I record the time since last execute to calculate my time sensitive code? most of the documentation I read is is the execute and isFinished is called "ABOUT" 50 times / sec or every 20ms.

This is not what I'm aiming for but simply put every 1 sec i want to add 10 to double myCounter

double myCounter = 0;

while(true){

   myCounter = myCounter + 10;
   wait(1000); //Wait 1 sec

}
