I would like to see if anyone can explain to me why my autonomous mode is not running the way we want it to. our main issue is that we have a function block that for some reason will not work at the moment we don’t know if it is a program flow issue or something else. As of right now, we have it going forward and we want it to turn. we had it working at one point but cannot find what we changed and where we went wrong. This is all we have as of right now. 
Try adding another encoder1 = getQuadEncoder block before the while loop.
That worked! Thanks so much. That was much needed
