Re: Negatives not working.

-0.5 is usually forwards. That's what your throttle sends.

It's probably the positive speed value that's causing you trouble.

Re: Negatives not working.

What can I do to fix that?

We just tried having one value 0.5 and another value of 0.5 connected to a negate function, then connected to the motor speed control. Again, no luck.

Thanks for all help you can give.

Re: Negatives not working.

one of your motors could be wired backwards, in this case, just go to Begin and click true for isInverted(), of course, that is if this motor is an issue for all your states.

A negate function?
Try just wiring a constant -0.5 to the motor, it worked fine for us.

EDIT: eh, reading your first post again, it looks like that's the first thing you tried
