If that's not the case, it still shouldn't be causing a problem, because only one is necessary. Each is only sending a 1 or a 0, combining them doesn't do much else? I coudl very well be wrong though. Love to know it if I am? It would solve a lot of our problems.

I could be mistaken. (See the disclaimer.) Each switch input (on the edubot) has two pins. If you only use one of the wires, what do you do with the other pin? All I REALLY know is that we got it to work. I won't get a chance to examine our eduBot until Thursday.
