The new one will do the same.

Another update. So when the 4slot crio worked we thought we had a bad crio but then we replaced our old 8slot with a new 8slot so we could use the same mounting holes but we had the same problem again. after lots more investigating we figured out that all this time we didn't have any power going to the sidecar. it must have been getting its power only from the crio and when we used too much power the robot would stop. everything works fine now. pretty embarrassing!!
