Joystick drivestick;
Joystick joystick;
Jaguar FL, BL, FR, BR;

int autoLoopCounter;

/**
* This function is run when the robot is first started up and should be

*/
public void robotInit() {

    FL = new Jaguar (5);
    BL = new Jaguar (2);
    FR = new Jaguar (3);
    BR = new Jaguar (4);
    Drive = new RobotDrive(FL,BL,FR,BR);
    drivestick = new Joystick(0);
    joystick = new Joystick(1);
}

P.S.: Also, enclosing your code with the tags makes it easier to read!

P.P.S.: After seeing this, I did not review the rest of the code.

The robot drive works, that is not the problem that I am running into I cannot get the buttons to work.
