I just need help to know how to code movement for this. I have two motor groups, front (green cartrage, and back ( red cartrade). My team wants it binded to the stick axies. Thank you for helping my team.
Welcome to the Forums! Question: do you want to slow the green motors down to match the speed of the red motors (to keep them from fighting and eventually only being a little faster than the red), or do you have gearing to make them the same speed? As for programming, there are some past threads that I believe answer this question pretty well, just hit the search button in the top left and type away

Don’t know if you found how to make it work yet but I wrote some basic code with comments to explain each line I added. Don’t forget to reverse your left or right motors depending on how your robot is oriented.
