Robolab can access LASM code (Lego Assembler) which may allow you to write
instructions that fit your needs. The LASM documentation is part of the
Mindstorms 2.0 SDK available from
http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/robolabatceeo/Resources/documentation/default.asp
I'm not an assembler programmer so I have no idea if this helps. Nor do I know
if it is legal under FLL or other contest rules. A guru for Robolab programing
is Claude Baumann (a Lugnet member). He has written some extraordinary vi's
though many involve using elements of Robolab's parent language LABVIEW.

My impression, though, is that the non-Robolab-specific LabView features aren't what I'm looking for (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| Having investigated rotations sensors thoroughly, I conclude they have some serious design flaws. Most notably, some samples taken during voltage transitions can be impossible to differentiate from samples at entirely different rotational positions. (...)
