Re: How to program the movement

Did the robot move while it was Disabled, before you Enabled it, or only after it was Enabled?

For these tests put the robot up on blocks so moving just spins the elevated wheels.

1st test:
- Disconnect the joystick from the PC.
- Make sure no one is touching it while you do this-don't even hold it-just leave it sitting on table
- Reconnect the joystick
- Check on the Driver Station USB tab that the joystick appears and is in the correct USB position (you might need to click the Rescan button on that tab).
- Enable the robot and see if it still moves.

2nd Test (if Test 1 didn't work):
- Start by creating a new robot project.
- Don't change anything in the project-anything.
- Build it
- Run as startup
- Enable the robot and see if it still moves.

Tell us the results.
