I'm having some trouble with the autonomous portion of my program. For some reason ports 1 and 10 do no movement at all. Am I missing something?

How are you running the autonomous portion of your program? Are you using a competition switch, or are you expecting the code to run as soon as you turn the robot on?

I am expecting the robot to run through autonomous mode by just powering on the cortex. I am not using the competition control thing.

If you are using the competition template you will need to send the Cortex a command to start each section of code (autonomous and user control sections, respectively). To do this, you will need to use either a physical competition switch or ROBOTC's built in Competition Switch Debugger window. More information on using the Competition Switche(s) can be found on our wiki: http://www.robotc.net/wiki/VEX2_Competi ... -_Debugger

I went to use the debugger switch and it was gray. When I clicked on it nothing happened. I had everything hooked up properly.

Double check that your Compiler Target is set to Physical Robot, the Cortex Communication Mode is set to Competition (VEXNet), and that the program is loaded onto the robot and ready to be started (the Debug window should pop up with the Start/Step commands, all done through the Robot menu). You won't be able to select any of the other debug windows, such as the Competition Control Debug, until the program is downloaded and the Debug window is opened; the window will appear automatically when the program is downloaded but can also be started manually by selecting the 'Open Debugger Manually' option in the Robot menu.

Also, make sure that the Cortex is communicating to the VEXNet controller properly (check out our VEXNewt setup guide if needed) before trying to download a program to the Cortex.
