Did you change anything in the Basic robot code to make it do that?
1) it does use four motors in teleoperated
2)i changed the basic robot to have three joysticks. one to control two sides one to control the the othere two
The basic robot project only controls two motors. The only straightforward way to change that to control four motors is to replace the "open two motor drive" VI with an "open four motor drive" one. If you do that, the RobotDriveRef is supposed to automatically run four motors when you use any of the Drive, TankDrive, or ArcadeDrive VIs.

I don't understand your joystick description. You said three joysticks, but you only listed two, and I can't figure out what they're controlling from what you said.

Let's take a step back here. What exactly do you have these four motors connected to, both electrically and mechanically? Maybe we just don't have the right idea of what you're asking.
