Not sure what the LFL is (and I'd honestly be surprised if the 'F' stands for flashing )- I don't see any small green flashy lights. The three green power LEDs on the Digital Sidecar are lit though, and the 20amp Circuit breakers that came with our kit are installed above its WAGOs. We're about to go through the tutorials for LabVIEW and try to understand this infernal GUI language.

Question: Is there a way to check if our issue is the ribbon cable?
Edit: So, we didn't put the ribbon cable in a press. We just did that and will test our stuff again to see if it will work. I'm glad I randomly decided to browse the forums and find the Java post about that being their issue. Now I feel like I'm the dumbest human being in the world. I'll tell you if it works.
Edit2: UPON CONNECTING THE NEW RIBBON CABLES, THE BIG ******* ORANGE LIGHT BEGINS TO BLINK. To the Cliffs of Dover!
EDIT3: AFTER RUNNING ROBOTMAIN.VI, IN THE PROGRAM I DESCRIBED EARLIER (NO CHANGES), THE ROBOT MOVESSSS AND IT MOVESSS CORRECTLYYYYYYYYYYYY YESSSSSSSS VICTORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!11!!111!!1!!
