If the motors seem to be randomly moving, it's probably because of a code overflow error. (I.e. 256 would wrap back around to 0, reversing the motor.) EasyC 1.1 does not support the Else If blocks. If you substitute regular If blocks for the If Else ones, the code should work fine.
Also, the variable names are shorthand for which motor is controlled. RF is short for Right Front, LR is short for left rear, and so on. Make sure the your code controls the correct motors; if you were to swap two or three of the motors around, then the motors would appear to move randomly.
If you are still having problems, can you add some PrintScreen commands to display the values for each motor (add them right before the SetMotor blocks, download the original code (posted here), and then post the values you are getting? Or a simpler way would be to look at each of the motors while you control the robot. When you hit forward, the motors should rotate like this:

The left joystick controlled the laternal movement - up on the joystick moved the robot forward, left on the joystick moved the robot to the left, and so on. The right joystick was used to control spin. Move the joystick to the right and the robot would spin to the right, etc. Any combination of the two joysticks, such as moving diagonally while applying a spin would mix the values, so it really would spin while driving diagonally.
