Unable to control motor on cRIO test setup

Hi. We are trying to control a motor using the labview. Have installed the necessary 2012 labview update and have been able to deploy code to the cRIO which also has the new 2012 image. When the bot is enabled via the DS, moving the controls (xbox controller) does nothing. There are no PWM outputs that show up on the monitor and the motor does not move. The jaguar light blinks yellow/amber. The DS/Dashboard sees that code is loaded, communications is confirmed and the battery voltage is read back from the analog card. The cRIO image is correct as the monitor reads that correctly as well.
Not sure what we are doing wrong here and I would greatly appreciate some help.
