Thank you very much! You actually managed to answer some of the questiosn that I was trying to formulate.

I guess I should probably check on that early on-- I was under the impression that since the drive motors were oriented opposite each other, they would both be spinning in "Opposite" directions. But, it's possible that they were wired backwards, I don't know, and I'll be able to (possibly) find out Tuesday.

Thanks for that bit of information-- I had realized that it would probably run very quickly, but didn't know how to slow it down, but still maintain the functionality.
As for opening and closing the motors during autonomous, I'll close them for now, and then do a bit of testing with it later on, just to find out. At the risk of coming off as a complete fool, I've had absolutely no luck getting information into a Global Variable. I can create them, but I'm then taken to a new Block Diagram, and aren't quite sure what to do from there. The help function doesn't seem to help me at all; is it something incredibly obvious that my brain just doesn't want to comprehend?
