Hi, The sys_time variable is the basic timekeeper for BrickOS. It is a 32-bit integer that is incremented every millisecond by the kernel. In older versions of the kernel you could access the variable directly, however, in 0.2.6.10 and later you (...) (21 years ago, 7-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
