So (assuming a max sensor delay of 2) the actions would be: - delayedControls.push(n) stores the controls that shall be active on frame n - delayedControls.get(n) returns these controls again - delayedControls.apply(n) applies the slowest control for frame n and does a look back on other controls. So when a frameStart for frame n occurs, it is time to call delayedControls.apply(n + maxDelay) Changing these semantics on delayed controls doesn't require much code change and has the added benefit that we don't run into clamping for get() on frames < maxDelay. ToDo: This breaks the delayed controls test at the moment. The tests need to be fixed. This is not straight forward as the tests need a deeper overhaul.
