What's the best way to test?

Inside the case structure you have a T/F from another feedback node. So you'll press it once, and the motor will stop (from value 0), and then you press it again, it will go full 'forward' (from value 1) once the NOT block inverts your boolean F to T. So here's another good job from me.

The problem is that you are not constantly feeding the motor with a value. For safety purposes, motors are not allowed to continue their set value unless it is fed a value every so many milliseconds (I think it's like every 100ms). If you look at the given autonomous code, you'll see that they use a while loop instead of the simpler sequence structure. This is why this is done.

You can simply add another feedback node, with the motor control value in it, then add the motor to the outside of the case structure, as shown in the picture attached.

Here's how I would do it, because case structures clutter up the work area, plus it hides half of the code that can execute.

Ignore my shoddy explanation, here's a picture of the code I'm trying to describe.
