We are trying to do 4 wheel tank drive. Two motors on the left and two motors on the right. We don't seem to be able to create a program that will use four wheels at the same time. What do we need to do to create a program to use 4 wheel tank drive.
Thanks

You can only make a two motor drive in the remote control editor. So what our team has done is that we generate a two motor drive code using the editor and then we just go into the "generated code" and add a motor to each motor block.
I know that sounds kind of confusing so if you have any questions just ask.

Just plug two sets of motor wires into each of the the two Tetriz motor controllers. As far as the software is concerned, you are driving two drive trains with one motor each. The rest is accomplished in Hardware.

Thanks, we got tank drive working. We ended up connecting the left motors to arcade left and and the right motors to arcade right. It works so we're happy. Now we just have to figure out how to do 4 wheel drive during autonomous.
