I am having troubles with my program. It is supposed to wait for the start of a match (using Samantha Field Control). Instead, it bypasses the waitforstart command. It also does it when it is not connected to either Samantha field control or the samantha. It usually starts around after 5 seconds to 15 seconds.

I think you have hit the same bug as this thread.

It is supposed to be fixed by RobotC 3.05 which was released earlier today.

It was actually the infrared sensor making it do that, but the new version should fix it.

The new vesion of RobotC does not fix it. But if you disable all the sensors, then reenable them after the waitForStart command, it cannot bypass the command.

The command to use to disable them is:

SensorType[nxt port] = sensorNone;
In NXT port is where S1-4 goes

To enable them, use this command:

SensorType[nxt port] = sensorHiTechnicIRSeeker1200;

Where the sensor name is on the right is where you would put the sensor name

There must be something else going on. Would you post your code?

I can not post the code as we are currently in competition, but it's basically that you disable all sensors until the waitforstart() has been issued, then re-enable them for the rest of the program.

Works like a double failsafe, didn't 'fix' the problem, just found ourselves a workaround.
