Forgetful robot

Our team's robot has finally been assembled (well, the chasis anyway) and the came to load the code. When the code was loaded, it did fine. But when we turned it off and then back on, the robot went crazy, defaulting to a bizarre control scheme were the x direction of a undefined joystick controls half of the robot. I would like to think it is the backup battery, but it seems to be fine. Does anyone have suggestions?
