The confusion is because only instantiation of each stack can be active at
a time. If you start a stack that is already running, that stack stops,
then restarts.
The rule for conflicting signals is that the last one set has precedence.
So if one stack says "motors, forward!" then a second stack says "motors,
backward!" then the motors will end up going backward.
I found that, if you have multiple stacks modifying the state of one or
more motors, you can end up with unexpected states. In my case, making
each green motor block modify all of the motors made it so that the motors
were always in a consistent state. Other solutions probably work too.
