We are also reciving on OI

No Data/Radio = Red

We have a radio hooked up to it.

Solid Green, code not executing, Orange Radio light, it doesn't see the radio.
Code doesn't begin execution until the first packet of OI data is received, so it sounds like a communications issue. If you wish to try a master reset you must hold both program and reset buttons for ten seconds after power up, release reset and hold program for a few more seconds, you should only get two LEDs lit on the RC, from there redownload your program and reset. Also check your cables from RC<->Modem, perhaps a tether would be good to ascertain it is in fact a communications problem.

And I did all of that from memory, so it might be a bit fuzzy here or there...

Oh and congratulations, you broke my anti-CD policy, stinking FIRSTers..can't get rid of y'all.

The correct answer was: Bad OI radio, but I found the tether cords so it was working at the demo. Thanks for your help everyone.
