I think the next thing for you to do is to retrieve the motors of the shooter by name, and connect the axis value to the value of both motor refnums.

The safety thing makes sense, thanks!

As for the motors.. I feel like I'm missing the vi to bridge the gap between the axis values and the motor controllers' RefNumRegistry vi's. Which vi(s) do I need to use here?
Added another picture for clarity

Thanks for the help!
