My vex robot wheels are moving in different directions. One forward one backwards. I updated the system checked if the cords are linked properly, and even customize it to check it is all right. Help
I have had this happen to sister teams of mine. If you are programming through vexcode, go into your devices and click on the motor that’s going the wrong way and change it. If you are just using the code that is already on the IQ brains, find where it lists all your ports on the brain, and reverse the port that needs to be reversed. If this doesn’t work, maybe send pictures of your code if you have any.

You can reverse one of the motors in your code.

Im new to this, so I don’t know how to reverse the motors by code
can you send a photo because it might be gearing problem

The default motor spin direction is indicated by an arrow on them (sorry about bad image quality)
One way to change which direction the motor will spin is to use this menu:
Flip the “switch” on the bottom to reverse if you want to reverse the motor’s spin direction.

Be sure to reinforce the BACK of the chassis. Otherwise it WILL tear apart, and at the worst time.

Are you using the built in function of the brain? As in… no coding done AT ALL?
Reverse the motor in the code, or try using chain rather than gear.
Yes, im using the built in function of the brain

I that case, you can reverse a motor by going Driver Control —> Configure and then running the built in program.

Think you could throw up a link/screenshot/etc to help out?
And back to the OP. I’d encourage you to start learning to write simple programs to control the bot.
A program, which would mimic the built-in features that you are using, wouldn’t be more than maybe 20 lines long, something you could get help with on the forums. This would help you learn the programming skills to move further in robotics.
