'''WAIT''' statements are simple conditional instructions. They evaluate a condition or series of conditions, and only continue on to the next line if true. This allows you to add a delay to the progression of a robot's program.

The condition can be any valid variable compared against any other variable, as well as just a time constant.
The '''WAIT''' instruction modifier '''TIMEOUT''' lets the instruction break out to a given '''[[JMP/LBL|LBL]]''' after a certain amount of time has occurred. This can be useful for error checking or multitasking, where the robot sitting idle is an undesired event.
