kay, at my church we are about to hold the couch potato wars, where we go and decorate and just pimp out (did i just say pimp out

) couches and then ram them, joust, race, and so on... last year it was couch potato olympics....
well, anyways, i am getting creative this year and integrating a self-propelled couch from simple parts, but i am having minor difficulties with my programming.... T_T
well, bascially i have some motors hooked up through a board (electrical), with on/off controlled by a mindstorms NXT motors that connect and disconnect(the followed by the battery)
my issues is with the scanF type funcution in it known as NXT buttons, i am having issues resolving how to make it run through and make motors turn slightly to disconnect power, and stuff like that to control the wheels. can somebody show me a simple picture of how to connect the "wires" in the programming compiler to make this work?
the thing is not build yet and also i am trying to make it foolproof considering that there is a chance that some "less technologically inclined" people in my youth group may drive it later...
thanks!
