Connected to robot, no function?

So recently we have been trying to get our old test bot up and running to practice some things on before our next comp.

The problem is that our cRIO is not working properly. Originally, when we first tested our main bot for this year with the new cRIO, it didn't work. So instead of figuring out the problem, the team just took last year's and put it on. Now we're stuck with the old one on the test bot.

We reimaged to what was at the time the newest image (v28) and established comms and everything with the testbot. However, when we jiggled the joysticks, trying to get it run, there was nothing. The lights were flashing on the jaguars. However all we did for code to try to get it running was a simple robotIterative with just calling the 4 drive jaguars, the 4 joysticks we had hooked up, and the robotDrive.

We have our last meeting before our next event this Thursday and I've been brainstorming what the problem could be. So far I have come up with

- Check connections to digital sidecar
- Upload code from last year (maybe there are certain things that aren't being called)
- If that doesnt work, unplug all joysticks except two and unplug all things from sidecar except pwm's for drive motors.
- vacuum cRIO

Do you guys have any other possible ideas/solutions? It would be very helpful! Thank you!
