Multithreading not supported about libkovan HOT 2 OPEN

I am intimately aware that libkovan isn't thread safe. Apologies for not making this clearer in the documentation. This is on the road map, but it is not high priority, as 95% of botball teams will not use threading. Thread safety was omitted simply because libkovan was written under extreme time constraints, and getting stuff working for the majority was the only priority. As a workaround, use a mutex.

First of all, thanks for the quick answers.

I don't think that multi-threading is as little used as you think it is. If you look at the botball community forums on programming you can see that two of the most recent topics are on threading, and I know that at least some of the other teams we talked to during ECER were using multiple threads too (I don't remember how many teams there were exactly, though). At least one of the topics seems to have been created by a rookie programmer, so I don't think that only more advanced programmers are facing this problem ... A rookie programmer might not even be able to tell that a bug is caused by his use of multiple threads and in turn blame hardware, bad luck, etc.
