I have a few scripts that don't do what they are suppose to do until I run thru them once. Let me explain that - in the script below the robot is doing addition. What should happen is, for example, when I say "two" the robot should look at it's hand, extend 2 fingers and say "two" and when I say "plus four" the robot should look at it's other hand, extend 4 fingers and say "add four". What is happening is the robot is looking where it should and saying what it should but not extending the fingers. It does the addition part correctly and returns to the start of the script. Then given the commands again everything runs properly. It may be something I'm doing in my scripting because this happens in a couple of other scripts I have written. I would appreciate any thoughts on how to solve this problem. Thanks
