Here is the robot.java file of a test project that we downloaded from FIRST for testing the robot in java. Same story, flashing orange lights.

package org.usfirst.frc.team3812.robot;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.IterativeRobot;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Joystick;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotDrive;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.livewindow.LiveWindow;

/**
 * The VM is configured to automatically run this class, and to call the
 * functions corresponding to each mode, as described in the IterativeRobot
 * documentation. If you change the name of this class or the package after
 * creating this project, you must also update the manifest file in the resource
 * directory.

public class Robot extends IterativeRobot {
	RobotDrive myRobot;
	Joystick stick;
	int autoLoopCounter;
	
    /**
     * This function is run when the robot is first started up and should be
     * used for any initialization code.
     */
    public void robotInit() {
    	myRobot = new RobotDrive(0,1);
    	stick = new Joystick(0);
    }
    
    /**
     * This function is run once each time the robot enters autonomous mode
     */
    public void autonomousInit() {
    	autoLoopCounter = 0;
    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during autonomous
     */
    public void autonomousPeriodic() {
    	if(autoLoopCounter < 100) //Check if we've completed 100 loops (approximately 2 seconds)
		{
			myRobot.drive(-0.5, 0.0); 	// drive forwards half speed
			autoLoopCounter++;
			} else {
			myRobot.drive(0.0, 0.0); 	// stop robot
		}
    }
    
    /**
     * This function is called once each time the robot enters tele-operated mode
     */
    public void teleopInit(){
    }

    /**
     * This function is called periodically during operator control
     */
    public void teleopPeriodic() {
        myRobot.arcadeDrive(stick);
    }
    
    /**
     * This function is called periodically during test mode
     */
    public void testPeriodic() {
    	LiveWindow.run();
    }
    
}

We have debugged this code, and all of the different robot modes are being called correctly. However, the arcadeDrive and drive functions, despite being called, are not being called correctly. PLEASE help. We have been working on this for weeks.
