according to the sdk, all tasks are run in parallel, with each task being
visited round-robin and executing one instruction.  this would mean they are not
being monitored at *exactly* the same time, but i would think a tight loop in
two tasks monitoring the input should be fast enough to be quite accurate for
your application.

I have a project that I am building, it is a finish line monitor for a
pinewood derby track. What I am doing is putting two light sensors above the
track pointing down so the ambient light will change when the car crosses
the finish line. One sensor for each track. I am using NQC to monitor the
sensors, so my question is can I monitor both the sensors in parallel so
neither one has an advantage? Which ever sensor changes first then it will
flag that lane as the winner.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
