You'll need to ask your Electrical team if your motors are wired on Spikes or on Jaguars.
If they're on Spikes, then the relevant class is the
Relay class. For Jaguars, see
this. You would add motors like this:
Code:
class myRobot : public IterativeRobot { //or SimpleRobot
public:
//your constructor
myRobot();
//the methods you're overriding go here
private:
Relay motor1;
Jaguar motor2;
};
//then in your constructor implementation
myRobot::myRobot() :
motor1(1), //on relay port 1
motor2(1) //on pwm port 1
{
//initialization
}
//then when you want to use them
//to set a spike:
motor1.Set(Relay::kForward); //or Relay::kReverse, or Relay::kOff
//to set a Jaguar
motor1.Set(1.0); //1.0 is full forward, 0.0 is off, -1.0 is full reverse
Make sure to read the GettingStartedWithC, the FRC 2012 control systems document, and everything else that was posted.
Plenty of teams have also open-sourced their code as well if you need to see examples. We have a huge code base, but if you're feeling ambitious, you can look at it
here.
And
http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ is a go-to reference.

Oh yeah, @mickets, yes, it is possible, but you're saved from yourself a little bit more
