For a mechanism other then a drive train, use the MotorControl VIs rather then RobotDrive.

Thanks for your response. We've tried the MotorControl via, and I've tried setting the output to different double values (0.1, 0.2, 0.8, 1) etc, but none of these affect the actual speed of the motor...

Also, there is a slack in the chain and we can't fix it mechanically because the of the layout of the gearboxes (when you flip them the chain gear is on the other side). Isn't there a way to fix this via software (IE, adjusting the value for each motor controller?)
