In LabVIEW programs, wires are essentially the variables. They're what "hold" values as they move from where they're produced to where they're used.
Exactly. All you need to do is wire the output from your Get Axis VI from the Joystick Palette to the Set Speed VI (or equivalent if you are using your Drive motors) from the Motors Palette. You don't need to use variables at all.
