Help needed with coding simultaneous movement (EasyC/VEX)

[bodaciousllama]

(I really had no idea what to title this thread, but I tried)

Hi,

I was introduced to VEX robots today in a robotics camp that I am taking at a local community college, and enjoyed myself. When school starts again, I am going to propose a FIRST Challenge team to the science/math department.

Anyway, my question lies in programming with the EasyC software. What my aim was, was to have remote control of the robot while a servomotor ran, autonomously (if thats the correct term).

Basically, I couldn't get it to work. Either the servo would run, or the remote control would work, but not both at the same time. The way I coded it was by putting both in a "while 1 == 1" loop.

So, if anyone has EasyC experience and can help, it would be appreciated. Even if you know how it's done in other programs, anything would be helpful. Even some key terms to search for would be helpful because, like I said, I have no idea what the term to search for is.

Thanks,
Ravi
