Re: The three lights are green, but the robot is unresponsive.

The camera from the dashboard should work even when disabled. If using LabVIEW, please open the teleop VI and probe to see if the code is being called and if anything is being written to the motors.

It may also be useful to use Test mode. Put the DS into test mode, click on the dashboard tab for test, select the motor output value and set it to something nonzero. Enable the robot and hit the enable button. If the motor doesn't move or the controller doesn't blink as expected, check the PWM values in the table to the electrical wiring.

If it moves in test mode, electrical is fine, and the code is not giving the motor a value or not giving it often enough.
