Improve Driver control response time when CPU is under high load #11

When the roborio is under heavy load, there can be a big increase in driver control response time (lag) which is quite bad. Perhaps this can be done by tweaking prioritization of commands within the wpilib scheduler.

Also should consider offloading manual control to its own thread an totally bypassing scheduler. You would have to force automatic functions to aquire locks on subsystems

@ahills Mrs. Veracka has expressed interest in this project as well. Are you able to communicate with her about it?
