There are more factors, but the bluetooth speed is the biggest problem I think.

I have had very few problems with the bluetooth interface in RobotC, but I haven't been using the FTC Control station, but the included software in RobotC. It will be interesting to see what the robots will do at scrimages with the competition setup. (the only scrimage I went to, people used personal laptops and all used RobotC)

I can't see why it would be the blue tooth. They use blue tooth in a number of things (my Wii comes to mind), and they don't have laggy controls, it must be something in the code.

Bluetooth is not the problem. My team used to use Labview and there was lag even when using a USB. Also, the bluetooth was not a problem at the scrimmage I attended. Redownload the last Labview update as I'm not sure if they posted a new update, they may have just edited an old one (although I'm not 100 percent positive, this is just what I remember reading is one of the links on chief delphi). Labview had a ton of lag for us and RobotC has almost none. I would suggest trying to run the sample joystick code for RobotC and seeing if you have lag.

I would agree that it shouldn't be the bluetooth, unless it is the software implementation of it. I use a bluetooth mouse with my notebook and while hardcore gamers tell me there is some lag, I definitely haven't noticed it.

Well...we're not exactly running mouse from this. Idk, let's wait for an reply from labview.
