I have attached the code, is it accurate now?
I'm not a LabVIEW programmer so I can't tell you if it's accurate, but I'm pretty sure it's not correct: If you want your robot to go up and down and starfe, you're going to have to write your own vi for that. The built-in LabVIEW vi supports only fwd/rev, strafe, and rotate. :-)

But seriously, as for the throttle, where you "attach" it depends on what you want it to do. What do you want it to do? You need to re-read Mark's post to understand that he attached the throttle to the rotation input "For a first test to make sure everything works the way you expect" with one Attack3 joystick. If you now have two joysticks (or a joystick with a twist axis), you don't need to do that.
