Right now we're plugging the OI into the wall and connecting the tether between the RC and OI, but its still not getting power.
We don't quite have the electrical system ready to give it the big battery power but we still wanna test uploading the program.
Does anyone know what's happening? or is our RC dead?

Your backup battery may be fine. The RC won't start until it gets higher voltage through the 12v terminals. You can use a regular 9v battery and just touch it to the 12v terminals on the RC and it will start up and run for a short period of time. Long enough to download your program and run for a minute or two. Just touch the 9v again to do it again.
