IR Sensor-tracker.zip

We have a question regarding the IR Sensing system using tracker.zip. We are experiencing no servo motion to find the IR Beacon. Our current set-up is as follows:

Left joystick is in port 1, right joystick in port 2.

Our left servo is in PWM 1, right servo in PWM 2.

Left motor is in PWM 3 through a Victor 884 Speed Controller, right motor is in PWM 4 through a Victor 884 Speed Controller.

Our IR Sensors for left to right go as follows: Left most sensor is in Digital I/O 3, the other left sensor is in Digital In/Out 4, the right sensor is in Digital In/Out 5, and the right most sensor is in Digital In/Out 6.

We have read about the robot doing a spin to find the beacon, and our robot seems to move but the servos show no motion. We’ve also read about a beacon type selector switch. Is this something we make???? Little to nothing is known about this switch. We saw it referred to in the tracker.c file.
