Yeah, using the joystick buttons isn't very intuitive. You have to use the Joystick Get Raw vi. One of the outputs is a cluster of button values. Use an Unbundle By Name vi and select which button you want. We are only using two buttons right now, the ones on the top. I think those are buttons three and two.

Laggy connection? When your pulling in data from the camera and displaying it on the front panel, it can be pretty slow. If you download your project to the cRIO as a start up program, it will run without a connection to the front panel, which I have found to be a lot faster. When I was trying to get camera tracking to work, the robot would turn for too long, and then would try to correct, overshooting again until it couldn't see the object. Once I downloaded the project, it was much more responsive, and it could track better. We have our camera set to 320X280 and the fps to 30.

Good job on getting the robot running! It looks great.
