Thanks for the cleaned up/improved code, I will definately try that out and try to get it to work.

As for you first first post concerning what I am actually trying to do, this is a step by step of exactly what I am trying to get it to do:
The camera is basically just tracking the movements of my head and making the motors mimic the motions of my head.
The "blob" will be connected to the front of my head on a support which is approximately 15 cm away from the center of my head. The next step revolves around properties of a right triangle and using the arc tangent to find the approximate angle that my head is at. So if it is 15 cm from my head and 10 cm to the right of my head, it will know to take arctan of 10/15 which gives me its approximate angle. Then tells the xmotor to move "that number" of encoders. Then do the same for the y-axis with the ymotor and the motors would copy the movements of my head.

That is how I think of it in my head, at least.

I am not sure how well this will work as it's pretty old, but I made something similar a while back:

I watched the movie and yes it does seem to be fairly similar to what I am trying to do, It just moves the camera instead of making the motors mimic a person's movements.

I went through the code you gave and I think that there are only a few kinks to be worked out, but for now the main one:

When the program reaches this point: it just repeats without end. I tried some other code but that worked even worse. I don't understand why it wouldn't work?

I got it to continue into the program, but now all it does continue in one direction. It goes left on the x-axis and up on the y-axis. Is there a way that you can set the motor encoders to never go above or below certain values?

And also, if the one of the motors is at 70 degrees/encoder units, then the next value is 75, how would I make it only go 5 more degrees and not another 75?

I got it to stop going in the same direction, but now for some reason the encoder target keeps getting set to 0 and it just turns and turns without thinking...
