Try
Code:
targetticks = (percentage * 26) /20;
That's something I've always wondered... people say that doing floating point math really does stretch the PIC to the edge of its capacity, but I haven't had any problems with it, even when it is handling a lot of interrupts from encoders etc. Is there an easy way to tell how much load it's under?

Tatsu: "Yo Englert, what's our autonomous mode?"
Me: "We'll find out, won't we."
Both: *maniacal laughter*
After the match's autonomous period ends:
Me: "Well, the basic control system still responds. That's always good."
Both: *further laughter*
