I assume a joystick is your throttle. Most drivers just lean on the joystick to move.
How do you want to control or override that movement?
Think about what you want to have happen and we'll help work you through what's needed.

2) what is that paddle like thing at the bottom of the attack 3 joystick called and how do I use it do control the throttle.
|
It's called the throttle interestingly enough.
It shows up as
axis 3(throttle) on a joystick Get.

3) how do I do anything with pneumatics? they want to make a piston shoot the frisbees and I am totally lost.
|
There is example code using pneumatics under the Getting Started window -> Support -> Find FRC Examples..., then in the pneumatics folder.

4) how should I integrate all of this into tank drive
|
That depends on how you want the throttle to work and what you want it to do for you.

5) how do I set up communication with the cRIO?

The default robot project sets up everything you need.
Did you install:
- the Kit DVD
- The LabVIEW Update
- The Utilities update
- the Driver station update
Here are some
other examples I use when teaching FRC LabVIEW.
