[NotInControl]

Here are some simple but important troubleshooting steps in addition to the great responses so far. Do make sure you have communication to the Relay, and proper power wired to it and that you are using the proper relay channel to control your spike. When the robot turns on, the LED on the spike should be orange, signaling that it has power.

Can you paste the code of your call to the constructor as well?

Again, you are only trying to set the value of the relay in either Teleop, Auto, or Test modes correct, while the robot is enabled?

Relay outputs are non-active while the robot is disabled. Are you also sure that you are hitting the proper button on the left stick. I am not sure what controller you used, but make sure you are pressing the button defined as "1".

Your code is fine and should command the relay (assuming you want kOn instead of kForward), if everything is wired up correctly and your code is placed in the proper location. So start with checking those first.

Also what kind of Robot Framework are you using, Simple, Iterative, or CommandBase? If the code running is not in a loop which is the default for SimpleRobot, then the code will run once and end, never giving you the option to hit the button. You would need to place it in a loop. If you are using Iterative, or Command Base, then the code should be in one of the Autonomous, Teleop, or Test - Periodic methods.
