Robotics - Conveyors

Though we're short a few of those little plastic links, the robotics team has constructed and attached both conveyor belts to the robot. I created the team's ninth test program to implement them in code. They work very well except for the fact that the teeth (necessary to hold onto the blocks) get stuck between the conveyor, which is too low, and the ground. In other news, I did successfully fix the strange wheel-activating bug. Evidently, it really is necessary to access the variable of the "joystick" object, not just the stray variables created in JoystickDriver.c. With the wheels working again, we tested my simple arcade drive and found out that it really does not make any sense. For one thing, left and right are reversed when going backwards. For another, it does not stop when the analog sticks are released.
