It is called at the rate of the new packets coming from the DS. However, that rate is 50hz (every 20ms).

Alright makes much more sense. Thanks a ton everyone. Now its time to code it .

If you've run drive code on the robot before, I'd strongly suggest testing the code before going into a match. Chances are, no matter how simple the code seems, you'll need to tweak it countless times before getting it to work.
