3.  replace ALL the "wait until" code with a simple wait 50mS - logic
would dictate that it will not take my bot longer then 50 mS to cross
the Y arm, so that it should be where it needs to be.   the bad side is
that I waste valuable milliseconds for the short hops along the Y axis,
while i wait out the rest of the 50 mS.

First of all, I definately recall you saying in an earlier post that
you had removed *all* of the WAIT instructions. I guess you meant only
the independent varieties.

A suggestion: (just so that if you beat me, I can claim it was *my*
suggestion that made the difference)

Within  the software*, calculate how many cells (ie. how far) the
gripper has to travel over and adjust your wait cycle accordingly.

i.e. 2ms to speed up, plus 2 cells@3ms each, plus 2ms to stop = 10ms
wait time for 2 cells, 13 for 3 cells and 7 for one. That would keep
the wasted time to a minimum while working around whatever problem is
preventing the RCX from seeing that it is in fact where it needs to
be.

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 (...)
