I would start by saying that you should initialize your robotDrive variable in a constructor to reference from anywhere.

Ex:

Public RobotTemplate1()
{
    
    m_robotDrive.setSafetyEnabled(false);
    m_robotDrive = new RobotDrive(1, 2, 3, 4);
}

And now robotDrive is set up to reference everywhere within the program.

I see that this is a test program, so arcade drive would have joystick input, but his is for it to move. You should add this to teleopPeriodic

arcadeDrive()
Timer.delay()
