Re: [FTC]: Robot problems with motor movment

Tom & Mike,

First of all. Please be absolutely sure that you have the very latest RobotC (v2.01) installed on your computer and that you have downloaded the very latest firmware version (v7.88) to your brick.

Next, open a new program in RobotC using the Teleop template that comes with RobotC. You will notice that it has an empty initializeRobot() routine that is called from the main task just before the waitForStart() statement.

Please add this back into your code and then put the following statements into initializeRobot():

Code:
    motor(leftMotor) = 0;
    motor(rightMotor) = 0;
    motor[beltMotor] = 0;
    motor[feederMotor] = 0;
    motor(shooterMotor) = 0;
If neither of these actions solves your problem, you may have to find someone smarter than me to help you.

Please let me know how you make out.

Regards,

Mike
