Joystick control rotated?
Maybe someone out there can help out our all-rookie team.

We're using the 2.4 code on our robot, unmodified. joystick is plugged into port 1 on the OI. We got the robot to move, but when we push the joystick forward, it goes left. when we push it right, it goes forward, when we push it down it goes right and left=reverse. What did we do wrong? did anyone else have this problem? I'd assume something is wrong with our X and Y values, but I searched and couldn't find anything about this.

help appreciated, thanks.

On the dashboard, the values for the joysticks are outputting to PWM ports 1,5,11 and 12...looking at the code we thought that it should be outputting to 13-16. That's puzzling us also.
