Re: Problems with Programming

Another problem that I've been having is when I program for RC control with the joysticks (using the Arcade 4 programming for 4 wheel drive), the joysticks won't work. One set of wheels will constantly spin when the other set doesn't, and if I can finally get both sides to stop completely (which takes some tedious calibrations of both joysticks) I can't get them to move again. Speaking of both joysticks, we've also been having some issues with getting our robot to work on only one joystick. Last time we had only one joystick, one wheel would constantly spin and wouldn't respond to the joystick movements. I was wondering if that was an error with the default programming since nothing else had been programmed into the Controller when we were having that problem.

Would anyone be able to tell me what's going on with the robot? Is there something that I'm not programming correctly?
Please post your autonomous code so we can determine if something is wrong over there.
