Arcade Drive Troubles in Autonomous

I'm not sure how that would work, cause then wouldn't teleop not drive correctly at all? There's only one way a drivetrain will correctly work, yeah (unless the joystick values are strange)?

Well, I'm not using the kit joysticks. I'm using two XBox 360 controllers, so the numbers don't exactly correspond to the names in the WPI library.
