What are your solenoids connected to? Are they controlled with Spike relay modules, or are you using the Solenoid Breakout on the cRIO module in slot #8?

We are using the solenoid breakout in slot 8

all the functions for them are in the acutors section in the WPA robotics Libraryץ

After you think the program should be working and you test it and it doesn't, don't shoot yourself in the foot yet. Check to see if the little lights next to the solenoid breakout are turning on and off as you press the buttons that should activate the solenoids. If they work, but the solenoid still doesn't activate, then you can shoot your electrical guys in the foot because the have a wire in backwards or upside down or something.

Just thought I'd share that.

And for the record, I never told you to shoot them
