Then I don't know what to tell you. You say the Jaguars are blinking, which means they're not getting a PWM signal, but you also say the Driver Station displays the battery voltage, which means both it and the cRIO have been updated from their original state. The instructions don't say to do the update until after the PWM connection has been verified.

Running the default program is at the core of the bench test.

Either you're describing your problem in a way that I don't understand, or your robot builders are mistaken.
