Program deployed, no response from robot

You don't have to switch users. You can run the Driver Station as a Developer.

The jaguars also keep flashing yellow no matter what we do.

This means they're not getting a PWM signal (I assume you aren't using CAN). It could be a wiring problem in several places, and troubleshooting that will require looking in detail at a number of things.

First, is the big amber Robot Signal Light plugged into the Digital Sidecar? If not, you can still look at the little green LED next to the RSL connector. What is the light doing when the robot is disabled? What is it doing when you enable the robot?

Second, is the Digital Sidecar properly powered? Are the BATT, +5v, and +6v green LEDs all brightly lit?

Third, is the cable from the cRIO's digital module to the Digital Sidecar assembled correctly? Some of the ones supplied in the Kit of Parts have one of the connectors backwards. See here for details.

5. Slightly unrelated: Is there a good place to learn how to program the cRIO using LabVIEW? Not just the language itself but to control the robot.

I've heard good things about the http://www.frcmastery.com/ videos.
