If I connect the motors to ports 1, 2, 7, and 8, all wheels work BUT when I want to turn the robot left, the robot turns right, and when I want to turn the robot right, the robot turns left. Please check into this.
Did you buy a fourth motor from Vex, or are you using only the ones from the kit? The standard kit only comes with three continuous rotation motors, and one limited rotation servo. This is probably what is making the fourth wheel not fully rotate 360 degrees.
