As for the arcade drive, I would try first using the ArcadeDrive function with constant inputs (ie ArcadeDrive(1.0, 0.0) ) and see what happens. That way you know the issue isn't with your joystick. It looks like you're using Talons for everything, but if the drive motors aren't talons then the way you initialized dragonBot won't work.

For testing purposes, don't bother with all the loops and timing; just try to run the motor if the button is pressed. The more complicated the code, the harder it is to find what's wrong.

Thanks, figured out the l_motor.Set part today and will create a simple testing program tomorrow.
