I remember that at the kickoff they said something about a virtual simulator where you could build your bot and test it out....I couldnt find a link to this so could anyone help?

Were you asking about this simulator that Paul G introduced during the kick off broadcast?
Take a look here: Link to recent 5th Gear discussion (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67395&highlight=simulator)
and here: 5th Gear discussion with links to other FRC simulation threads (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67316&highlight=gblake)

For now, keep your head down and continue designing/building your real machine.

After that is well underway, the simulator will become available, and you will be able to adjust some of the simulation parameters to line up with the gross characteristics of your real machine. You can then start playing a few matches against teammates - either just-for-fun, or for more serious analysis and practice.
