Robot seems to be Disabled when using Jaguars

ok, I am writing my first basic program for the robot. I know the robot is in functioning order because i can load and run the Simple Template and that works. Unfortunatly when I run my program, nothing happens. I know that values are being read in from the joystick because I have some printfs and the console. Here is the weird thing, even while the robot is enabled, the signal light continues to blink like its in disabled mode. When I use the Simple Template, the light works correctly.

Here is the relevant code:
Code:
class Robot : public IterativeRobot
{
    Jaguar *leftDrive;
    Jaguar *rightDrive;
    Joystick *stick;

public:
  void RobotInit(void)
  {
    printf("RobotInit:\n");
    leftDrive = new Jaguar(4, 1);
    rightDrive = new Jaguar(4, 2);
    GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(0.1);
  }

  void TeleopPeriodic()
  {
    printf("TeleopPeriodic:\n");
    drive();
  }

  void drive()
  {
    float joyX = stick->GetX();
    float joyY = stick->GetY();
    float leftPower;
    float rightPower;

    printf("joyX: %f\n", joyX);
    printf("joyY: %f\n", joyY);
    rightPower = joyY;
    leftPower = joyY;
    printf("rightPower: %f\n", rightPower);
    printf("leftPower: %f\n", leftPower);
    rightDrive->Set(rightPower);
    leftDrive->Set(leftPower);
    printf("rightDrive: %f\n", rightDrive->Get());
    printf("leftDrive: %f\n", leftDrive->Get());
  }
};

START_ROBOT_CLASS(Robot);
Here is a relevant section from the console:
Code:
TeleopPeriodic:
joyX: 0.000000
joyY: -0.476563
rightPower: -0.476563
leftPower: -0.476563
rightDrive: -0.476563
leftDrive: -0.476563
It seems to me that the code is working correctly, has anybody seen this business with the signal light showing disabled while the robot is enabled? I believe that this is the problem. Any ideas are welcome.
