This is my first year actually working on our robot, so I have almost no experience with this. Still, two suggestions:

1.) Check the manual. Make sure that everything is connected correctly.

2.) Try running the robot without the tether. It's possible that the cable itself is bad.

3.) If you can get your hands on another OI (maybe borrow one from another team), try that out instead of yours. The OI could be the problem, but I'm not sure how likely that would be.

4.) If you're really stumped, contact another team in your area. With any luck they'll be able to help you out.
