Inside the loop where you are driving the robot, you need to read the trigger inputs from the joystick and operate the motors.

To read the trigger inputs, use the "Digital OI Input" block. It returns a 1 or a 0 depending on the state of the trigger. You can check that value and then decide whether or not to drive the motor. To operate the motor, use the "PWM Control" block. It takes a PWM port number and a speed.
