1st) Error messages in the Diagnostic screen on the console are not necessarily accurate. Our error that the CANJaguar Software on the WindRiver compiler was incompatible was not the problem.

More info on this for others who might be seeing this... If you receive errors along the lines of "the cRIO version is incompatible with the software" (sorry, do not have the exact message) that is coming out of a line in the CANJaguar C++ driver, know that it has nothing to do with your cRIO per se -- the error message content itself is misleading in this sense.
Rather, this error message is the result of the CANJaguar C++ driver looking at the firmware version of the Jaguar itself and noticing a mismatch from what it would like. Further, it appears that with v89 firmware and an up to date CANJaguar driver, there is a bug causing false negatives. I haven't had the resources & time yet to see if the bug is in the firmware or the driver. The driver should operate normally despite these messages which warn to the contrary.

We also thank all the others who came to see if we were still having trouble, plus the help from Lead Robot Inspectors Jonathan and Rob.

I'd like to thank Lead Inspector Rob as well; without his dedication to tracking down problems when they arose and connecting teams with others who could help, I know many teams would have had a significantly less amount of time and fun on the playing field.
