Hi all,

    I used the routines in Mobile Robot as a guide in building routines
for my robot. I have an IR detector setup like the one described using
the Sharp detector to detect left and right obstacles. I have a round
robot with three bumper switches like the one used on Rug Warrior 1. I
got the proportional speed control to work (both directions). All of
these routines including motor control work fine by themselves. They
even work after I combined them into one program along with the
behavior routines. The only problem I have now is the ir detection
routine. It doesn't detect fast enough. It's as if the other routines
are taking all the processor time. I've tried hogging the processor and
using more ticks on start process but nothing works. I even started
multiple ir detect processes (4) to see if that helps. Has anyone tried
using the proportional speed control along with other time intensive
routines like the ir detector?

Thanks in advance!

Frank
