task main()

{

while(1==1)
{
	motor(backleft) = vexRT[Ch2];
	motor(backright) = vexRT[Ch2];
	motor(frontleft) = vexRT[Ch3];
	motor(frontright) = vexRT[Ch3];

}
if(vexRT[Btn8D] == 1)
{
motor(claw) = -127;
}

	else if (vexRT[Btn8D] == 1)
	{
		motor(claw) = -127;
	}

	else
	{
		motor(claw) = 0;
	}
	if(vexRT[Btn8U] == 1)
	{
		motor(claw) = 127;
	}

	else if (vexRT[Btn8U] == 1)
	{
		motor(claw) = 127;
	}

	else
	{
		motor(claw) = 1;
	}
	


	{
	startMotor(frontleft, 127);
	startMotor(backleft, -127);
	startMotor(frontright, 127);
	startMotor(backright, -127);
}

}

that is my code ^
The problem is that when I link up a controller it will work for a few seconds and then stop and then repeat the process until i stop.
I have tried using my friends controller to make sure it isnt the controller that is the problem. It seems to be the code.

This may help

@CHarrell. Most likely that wont help, @Sharkoder is using RobotC.

@Sharkoder. The while (1==1) Loop needs to be for the entire part of your main code, you only have it doing the movement in the next 4 lines. You need to move the } after the 4 motor commands to the end of the program.
