Last year, that would have been a clue to look at the power to the Digital Sidecar. It also hints that your drivebase problem is similarly due to motors not running properly when commanded negative. Your red roboRIO power LED says to start your troubleshooting with the 5v pins.

Begin by unplugging everything from the roboRIO's DIO, PWM, Analog, and Relay pins. If the power fault remains, use a strong light and magnifier to search for conductive debris at the pins. If you find nothing, you can try opening up the roboRIO and looking for foreign objects.

If, after a thorough inspection and vacuuming, the power light remains red, contact NI for instructions on how to proceed.
Cleaned it out and now it works 100%. Thank you.
