MATLAB: How to fix the issue with the Arcade Module block in the VEX library in Simulink R2017a and 17b releases

There is an issue with how my VEX robot behaves when programmed to use the Arcade Module block from the VEX library in Simulink 17a or 17b versions. The issue primarily happens when the robot is controlled to turn left or right in the reverse direction. How do I fix this problem?

This is a known issue that will be fixed in the VEX Support Package's monthly release of October (on Oct 11, 2017). You could reinstall the support package after that date to obtain the updated version in either Simulink R2017a or R2017b release.
