Re: Running Robot
Check that your motor controllers for the left side are connected with a PWM cable to the roboRIO PWM 0 port, while the right side motor controller is connected to PWM 1. If you have two motors per side then use a PWM splitter on each side.
The default code assumes one motor per side and the left side motor controller connected to PWM 0 on the roboRIO, the right side motor controller connected to PWM 1.

The default project described in screensteps should just work.
The joystick will be in arcade mode y-axis is forward and back, x-axis causes turns.

P.S.
I should have asked what the status lights are doing on your motor controllers (and which model motor controllers you are using-white Spark ones?)?
