Does any one know why everything but the wheels are not functioning with the Vex controller

The hardware is up to date i’m thinking it could do something with the while statements.

#pragma config(Motor, port2, frontRight, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port3, backRight, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port4, frontLeft, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, reversed)
#pragma config(Motor, port5, backLeft, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, reversed, encoderPort, None)
#pragma config(Motor, port6, beltMotor, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port7, rotationMotor, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop)
#pragma config(Motor, port8, clawMotor, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, encoderPort, None)
#pragma config(Motor, port9, armMotor, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop)

  • The left joystick Y-axis controls the robot’s forward and backward movement.
  • The left joystick X-axis controls the robot’s left and right movement.
  • The right joystick X-axis controls the robot’s rotation.
  • The Code incorportes a threshold/deadzone that allows very low Joystick values to be ignored.
    This allows the robot to ignore values from the Joysticks when they fail to center at 0,
    and provides a margin of error for the driver when they only want the robot to move in one axis.

}

Is that… not in the while loop? Doesn’t the while loop end right after the motor FR BR FL BL?

Try moving the } from after those 4 lines to the very end.
