Is there a question here?

[jp1247]

Not sure if this was intended or not, i could be wrong, but you have 'trigger' and 'button' as separate joysticks, do you actually have 4 joystick that you're only using one button off of two of them?

[Team1605]

yes i have only two joystick and u sing one button

I see a big problem with this. operatorControl() is only called once, not continuously, so you need to put all your drive code and whatnot in that method in a loop so it will run more than just once. Alternatively you could use the IterativeRobot template, which calls its method periodically so you don't need a loop.

You should only make Joystick objects for actual joysticks. To get the trigger and buttons, you would get them from whichever joystick they're on. For example, if they were on the left joystick, you would use stickDriverLeft.getTrigger() (or stickDriverLeft.getRawButton(1)) for the trigger and stickDriverLeft.getRawButton(number) for other buttons.

Also I think you should get rid of the delay in autonomous, it's not helping anything and could actually slow you down.
