[FRC] [problem] Motor issues...

[robinspi]

I hate the ambiguous topic, but anyhow, here is the issue:

Motors spin one way, not easily the other. I looked through the program, and there doesn't seem to be any problems in there. (Though I will say that we are using a custom build PID system). We are using Talon motor controllers and using some VEX motors.
So, the motor will spin one direction perfectly fine, but when we switch the direction, the motors slowly move in that direction, slowly, but very choppily.

Any explanations? If none do arise, then I will probably go look in the PID loop of the program and look through that with the author. Also, if you need anything more cleared up, I would be happy to answer those questions.

Edit: Now the motors are not moving at all. We guessed that the joystick might not work, but the driver station is still reading the input from those buttons.

Edit: We are also using C++ as our language (with the latest from FRC, as we are a rookie team)
