Random Signal

Hey CD,

When I enable our robot,

every 15-20seconds or so (its random), our Drive motor controllers (victors) receive a signal and the robot makes a click noise (from the motor getting that tiny signal). Sometimes it happens when I slow down our shooter and bring it to a stop and for some reason the drive motors get a signal. I've looked through the code many times and there is nothing controlling PWM 1 and 2 where are drive controllers are connected to but Teleop.vi where the default arcade drive is. Any idea why these victors would detect some itsy signal every now and then?

I put a probe while running it labview on the joystick axis values and even sometimes when its 0, it'll still do a jerk without actually moving the robot from its place.

Any help appreciated!
