Just one more thing I'm compelled to point out....

FRC is the hardest fun you'll ever have. If it always worked the first time you might have fun, but it wouldn't be hard and you probably would learn less.

Wait a second! The above is in direct contradiction to your 'Nothing Works' assertion! (all is not lost-- your autonomous moves!!!!)

Don't be discouraged. You're living the FRC dream my friend. You're facing challenges looking for answers. This is my life too-- I'm a 25 year professional software engineer. I've had these moments too.

But the true joy will come in learning, and building on what you have learned. Every time I get stuck in my job, I'm on stackoverflow or google searching for a solution to my particular problem. But I would not have gotten as far as I have by concluding 'Nothing Works'. Don't go there.

You *will* get through this.
