Cycle Time

I thought that the cycle time was supposed to be 5 ms. It seems that while testing with limelightosr-2027.0.0-beta14 the cycle time seems to be 20 ms. What am I missing?

WPILib is keeping the loop time at 50 Hz (20 ms) at least for the 2027 season. Teams can always turn up the loop times if they want, but a stable 50 Hz default is perfectly fine for a large majority of teams, and leaves a lot of headroom for the teams to do everything they need.

You can override the loop period with https://github.wpilib.org/allwpilib/docs/release/java/edu/wpi/first/wpilibj/TimedRobot.html#%3Cinit%3E(double).
