Re: Spikes not working - URGENT
Check your fuses.

Since the robot doesn't have to be competition compliant you can replace all your fuses with auto-resetting breakers. The same ones that go into the power distribution board.

Also make sure you have the spikes plugged into the relay portion of the sidecar, not the PWM/Servo/Jaguar/Victor portion.
