The PWM cables are pretty hard to settle in there, but they are hooked in. [Scratch this] We now believe it might be a defunct PD board. But essentially what is happening when we enable is:
  • 2 Victors are solid yellow.
  • 4 Victors continue to blink.
  • The 4 blinking are wired to our CIM motor, and will not output any power.
  • If we swap out one of the blinking Victors with a solid-light Victor, the motor gets power, as expected.

Certain slots could be busted on our PD board, we're still troubleshooting. (also, on hold with VEX Pro. Thanks Ricky!)

edit: disregard, our PD board is fine.
