Re: Very basic programming issue

Actually, to fix it just add a - before the GetAxis on the joyticks and it will run the motors in the opposite directions. The joyticks are very un-intuitive and have forward as a negative value. In case you're wondering, the - simply does a mathematical negative on the value

however, he is using the compressed form:
myRobot.ArcadeDrive(stick);
not
myRobot.ArcadeDrive(stick.GetY(), stick.GetX());
so your suggestion won't work (at least at this point)
