If the Open 4 Motor isn't working, two Open 2 Motors with the same four PWMs wouldn't open either.

Or, are you sharing each pair of motors with each pair (L/R) of wheels?
That is the typical way to do it, with two motors on each gearbox.

Re: 4 Motor Tank Drive Problem

Make sure you open the 4 motors in "begin" and that it is referenced properly in "teleop", "partial tasks", and "end" vi's. Also when running the code check on the drivers station to see if the PWM's are being sent a signal.
