Thanks for all the replies!

My responses don't seem to be going through, so if suddenly 5 replies come out of this from me, I apologize. We got the code to work, but still can't seem to get it to drive. I've gotten a response out of button presses with the suggested code. I left the whole block regarding watchdog off as it's in the autonomous section, anyway, which we are currently not working with. In fact, let me post the following to clarify what lines we're working with at this point:

public class AwesomO extends SimpleRobot {
    
    RobotDrive drive = new RobotDrive(1,2);
    Joystick leftStick = new Joystick(1);
    Joystick rightStick = new Joystick(2);
    Relay firingMechanism;
    
    public void robotInit() {   
        firingMechanism = new Relay(1);
    }
    
    public void autonomous() {
        //not using autonomous atm
    }

    public void operatorControl() {
        while (true && isOperatorControl() && isEnabled()) // loop until change
        {
            drive.tankDrive(leftStick, rightStick); // drive w/ joysticks
            Timer.delay(0.005);
            System.out.println("Left: "+leftStick.getX()+", "+leftStick.getY());
            System.out.println("Right: "+rightStick.getX()+"' "+rightStick.getY());
            
            if(rightStick.getTrigger()){
                firingMechanism.set(Value.kReverse);
            }
            if(leftStick.getTrigger()){
                firingMechanism.set(Value.kForward);
            }
        }
    }
}

Currently everything works except driving. It reads the controller positions as well as pushes out relay commands (we can see blinks on the controller of red and green), however, the jaguar's are still not responding. Do they only work whenever watchdog is correctly configured? I can throw watchdog.setenabled(false) into robotInit.
