Thank you everybody for the help!
Though.. That was the weirdest thing ever... Eventually the NI lady(Olivia) decided that maybe it was our DS. (Which would make sense because it was one from spare parts to replace our one
with the cracked screen.) So she tried building and deploying from her laptop. She then ran tethered her laptop to the robot. And would you looky there... battery voltage..... So it turns out our DS is corrupted somewhere.... Luckly for us, she let us borrow her laptop the rest of the day.
A HUGE thanks to Olivia and all of the volunteers who helped us through this!
