it worked...kinda, the code made the 1 run continually in reverse, what i need is for when the joystick value is above the center value heading forward on the joystick to have both motors run forward (same idea in reverse), and when the joystick is headed left the two values are one half of the value forward for one motor and the other motors value is half the value going backwards. sorry if i seem clueless as i kinda am towards complex programming. once again any help would be appreciated.
