Based on the first question I would think you're on the right track.
Counting the number of turns in a given time period is key. It
impressed the hell out of the folks at the office when the rover
would back out of a corner and turn around.

The below code includes some crude semaphore code. The sound
was for debugging.

No rude comments, this was my first NQC code and the first C code
I've written in two years. :-)

Some sample code:

#define FUTILE_INT      200
#define FUTILE          1
#define FUTILE_THRESH   4

task corner_detect
{
    while (true)
    {
// I added the OR while playing with the code, not sure why
//
        if ( (Timer(FUTILE) > FUTILE_INT) || (turns > FUTILE_THRESH) )
            {
            if (turns > FUTILE_THRESH)
                    {
                        while (lock_turn != 0) Sleep(1);
                        lock_turn = 1;
                        stall = 1;
                        PlaySound(3);
                        timed_reverse();
                        about_face();
                        lock_turn = 0;
                        stall = 0;
                    }
            turns = 0;
            ClearTimer(FUTILE);
            }
    }
}
