This sent off flashing bulbs in my head immediatley.

Flashing orange lights on Victors means that the Victor isn't getting (a proper) signal from the computer. This means that either the cable isn't seated properly, or that PWM variable isnt being written to in the program ever (maybe?).

I'm not too sure how removing the camera would affect the drive of the bot, but downloading default code typically won't work right off the bat. Try hooking up the OI to dashboard, and see if your values from your sticks are right. Then write a simple program for the FRC that takes the stick values and outputs them to PWM. Hook up the speed controllers to those PWM and see if the lights are no longer blinking orange (also, monitor the dashboard PWM output).

Hope this helps.

BTW, are you the person who wrote the original code? If not, can you get into contact with them at all?
