Hey, this is a small but frustrating one. This is in legOS 1.7 but I beleive it will still be in 2.0 as it's caused by the 1 priority to a task requirement. If you write code like the following: while(1){ wait(for something); kill(t1); t1 = (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
