6 hours, 4 mentors and 2 students couldnt figure out whats wrong with our relays

This morning, we set out to get the compressor running.

Our electronics guys wired up the compressor, and I "wired up" the program. It didn't work. So I re-did the program a few times, and then we ran some sample compressor programs... they couldn't run the compressor either. The mentor that I was working with was convinced that we have to write the compressor logic on our own, but we decided we should check to see if we have a relay problem first. At that point I found the logic in the WPI Compressor library, and we decided that it's another issue altogether.

Turns out, the compressor VI wanted the compressor to be on, but the sidecar just doesn't want to flip that relay. We tried it on slot 4 and slot 6, and we tried 3 different sidecars.

Any ideas, anybody?
