Victors not working

[cooltext]

So we have a huge problem. Our victors and motors don't work. first of all when we Initially start the robot a victor plugged into that's not even in loaded or initialized in the code starts to run. Secondly the victors only work when they are part of a RobotDrive object, so we can't control the victors individually and only ports 1-4 of our digital sidecar work. Then if we try to control a victor plugged into ports 1 2 3 or 4; the only ports that appear to work, I can't control them manually unless they are part of a Robotdrive object. I know that this isn't a software problem, nor is there any problem in a crio or sidecar as we have switched the old sidecar and crio with our current ones and this issue still occurs. Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks.
