they are being set correctly because, we used that button earlier in our code to operate a solenoid, and it worked perfectly.
EDIT:
there is an error that comes up in the message log in the diagnostics tab of the driver station:
"Fatal error "Attempting to reuse an allocated resource" in Allocate() in C:/WindRiver/workspace/WPILib/resource.cpp at line 79"
I get this 6 times when the robot starts up.

Also, when i put in a new command to make it go kForward, in the beginning of the loop "avoidtipover" It does nothing. it acts as if I set it to kOff. i can press down the btn9 and it will run but the second that I release it, it turns off.
