Driver station not detecting robot code

[2544HCRC]

We got it working! Thanks to the help from a student on a neighboring team. In the end I'm not sure what fixed the problem. We reimaged the cRIO for the third time, and then he deployed the code differently. He went to the bottom of the program list (not main.vi) and right clicked and then deployed the software. There was a separate click to start the code after restart and then it worked. It seems that the directions in the "bench test" leave a lot to be desired. He also said that he had to change some things around in the code as far as defining the motors??

It seems that there could be a "cookbook" of sorts that tells you If you want to do X with your robot, then this is what you need to do code wise. It seems that for the most part the robots are all doing pretty much the same things. Does this exist somewhere?
