This doesn't sound too related to your first problem. It sounds like you're talking about running the code in debug mode. Really it's just clicking the run button in LabVIEW (the one with the arrow, which is sometimes broken to show that the VI is broken).
To run in debug mode, press the run button in Robot Main.vi (not anywhere else). This will build and download the code and link the cRIO's processes to the computer, so you can watch them just like if you were running a normal, simple vi on your computer.
Please note that running in debug mode will not permanently download the code to the cRIO!!!! If you run in debug mode and then stop the program or reboot the robot, it will remember the previous, permanent code. To really save and reuse the code, you need to build and "run as startup" from the project window, like normal.
