Team 2102 Problem With Control Interface

Hello,

We use our 2009 robot often for demos or sponsor presentation. Within a presentation, out of nowhere we completely lost control. Our drive is 4 wheel drive 4 wheel steering. We have a steering centering portion of our code, as well as a recognizable autonomous mode. Heres the current symptoms which started suddenly without any changes to the robot:

No driving control whatsoever through joysticks or gamepad, when autonomous switch is toggled, the robot does start auto mode. When set to teleop, it drives forward full speed, no other motors move except steering centering. Disable switch stops robot. Drivers station is fully updated. We checked wiring all seems correct. Cannot figure out problem! Please help!

A programing mentor thinks it might be a timer on the first side of the crio programing which ran out, any similar problems? Any suggestions?

Thanks
