If all you want it to do is move, than open your motors in begin.vi

If you have four seperate motors liek i think your saying, then open all four on the seperate PWMs assuming you havent done so already [I would assume yes if you have teleop working]

Then i would suggest using a series of WHILE loops, use the set time VI and input a value you want to wait in seconds. Then wire the boolean out [itll be green] to the STOP if TRUE loop node [its a stop sign] then open your drive type in the while loop [this will be in your WPI robotis library]. i suggest arcade style. wire the RobotDrivedevRef into your drive style VI. just repeat these steps in a few more loops and wire the drivedevref from one VI to anouther. Remember that the drive devref is found by taking the ROBOTDATA [or something of the sort] and ungrouping by name[which is in the cluster library] then slecting it when the finger shows up as an icon select "RobotDriveDevRef" from the list.

or follow alans suggestion, both work
and that will get your robot at least moving

hope it helps.
