-The tabs the layout gives you:
+The layout gives you two views of the robot on the 2026 field:
 
 | Tab | What it shows |
 |-----|---------------|
-| **2d top view** | The robot on the field from above. The easiest view for most challenges. |
-| **3d view** | The same thing in 3D. |
-| **Joysticks** | What the robot thinks your controller is doing. Handy when the robot doesn't respond. |
-| **Swerve** | Swerve module angles and speeds. Its data sources need setting up before it shows anything -- see the [Advanced Swerve Challenges](/curriculum/challenges/advanced-swerve-challenges). |
-| **Table** | Every value the robot code is logging. |

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 **The robot doesn't move at all.**
-Check that **Teleoperated** is selected in the Robot Simulation window -- a disabled robot ignores every input. Then check that your controller is in the **Joystick[0]** slot, not one of the others. The **Joysticks** tab in AdvantageScope shows whether the robot is seeing your input.
+Check that **Teleoperated** is selected in the Robot Simulation window -- a disabled robot ignores every input. Then check that your controller is in the **Joystick[0]** slot, not one of the others. In the Robot Simulation window, the axis values under Joystick[0] should change as you move the sticks -- if they don't, the robot isn't getting your input.
 
 **My gamepad isn't listed under System Joysticks.**
 Make sure it's plugged in. If it still doesn't appear, stop and restart the simulator.
