that's nice! what's the speed of those wheels when they are mated to those VEX motors?

Seeing how the wheels are attached directly to the motors, and assuming that the final speed under load will be 85% of the motor's free speed:

100 rpm x 0.85 x 2.75in diameter x pi / 12in per foot / 60 sec per min = 1.02 feet per second drive speed.

quick question, since I know nothing about programming. Right now the way its set up is that the right joystick on the controller will be used to control the steering. Is there a way where I can get it so that the left joystick will control all 4 wheels?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but to do this without programming you would have to use two y-pwmconnectors and then hook them up in the 3 and 4 pwm slots on the microcontroller.
