Well, this sort of thing is why I created
pyfrc -- it contains a very simplistic robot simulator so you can see immediately what your robot motors/sensors are doing. Since it's written in python, it's only available to teams using RobotPy to program their robot. Of course, without mentor support, I wouldn't recommend switching programming languages this late in the season...
Search the forums for CCRE -- I believe it has a similar capability for Java.
Other than that, I'd definitely create a benchtop electronics setup so you can try simple things as lopsided recommended.
