To determine the correct X and Y axis motor values, one thing you could try would be to run in Teleop mode and probe the wires that go from the joystick to the Arcade Drive while driving the robot in the direction you want. This will help you understand how the X and Y values work.

For the Push1 motor (or any other output), it is expected you write an update value at least every 100ms. Otherwise the Safety Output turns off the motor. This is to avoid a run-away robot. An alternative would be to use the Motor Safety Config to disable/enable this safety mechanism - the same way you did in your drive motor code.
