Dude,
The Cortex controller system is new to me and OCCRA, so we may not be able to answer your question.

I plugged my backup battery, measured 9.0 volts in the on-line window and the Robot light was green. So, mine worked, but that doesn't help you much.

Did you confirm the voltage measurement in the On-line window? Reason, purely speculative, is that if there is a problem with the Cortex system measuring the backup battery voltage, even though it is "good", it will be red and you might be able to confirm that by reading it inside of EasyC V4.

Of course, it is possible that your system is faulty. I will not be there tomorrow ,but, next Thursday I may be able to test your system at the OCCRA competition event number 2.

You might be able to show your system to another team at tomorrow's competition and get some answers from another team.
