Nowhere in code do you specify the power source for the motors. You specify the PWM outputs (from the digital sidecar) which the motor controllers are connected to.

The code you posted is creating a RobotDrive using Jaguar controllers on PWMs 1 and 2 on the default digital sidecar (CRIO slot 4).

If you want to use different PWM outputs you could modify it like so:

drivetrain = new RobotDrive(3, 4); //Uses PWM outputs 3 and 4.
drivetrain = new RobotDrive(1, 2, 3, 4); //Used PWMs 1 and 2 for the left drives, and 3 and 4 for the right drives.
