So, it took me a while, and I THINK, I MIGHT have solved the stupid rcx crash thing. My code has a wait until command. it is peppered throughout the code and it is a simple way for me to wait until BOTH the X and the Y are in position before i do a (...)

So I have revamped Runamok 'Bot with 40 tooth gears for a great speed increase. And the rotation sensors are still accurate at this increased speed.
