Lag input after an action is executed

VEX V5 Technical Support UNOFFICIAL Tech Support
#1

So, while my team runs their driver control on their bot, we try to multitask a lot of options to maximize time and score the most points. The only problem is that, we have a program/ motor that when it runs it stops/ continues all previous functions before it until it complete, which then all other actions will resume their code and finish.
ex. If we are spinning 90 degrees and turned on the motor, we would lag and overshoot for an extra 700-1000 milliseconds or so. It only happens with this motor and it severely stops our progress as we have to stop everything just to use the motor and then resume.
vVv Here is the code, I’ll try to answer any questions you have about it.(The problem is with DVM) vVv

motor::rotateTo

will stop any other command from executing until it finishes unless its wait for completion flag is set to false. For some commands you set the wait for completion flag to false. Do that for every


rotateTo

, too, and it won’t freeze on those commands.
