Yep. Definitely let this be a lesson. However, matches start in a matter of hours, so let's do our best to get the robot running.

The last time I used LabVIEW for a robot was 2010, but hopefully the following advice helps. (I'm much more familiar with Java, but you should use whatever your team knows best, not what some random guy on the internet likes.)

If you don't know where to start, check out these links:The first two are probably the most helpful.

From what I can tell, here's what you'd have to do to get a basic teleop working:
  • The project has basic arcade drive built-in, so just make sure the port numbers for your drivetrain are right in Begin.vi and that should work.
  • In Begin.vi, make sure all of your motors, pneumatics, and joysticks are initialized.
  • In Teleop.vi, you need to link joystick inputs to various motor and pneumatic actions. The drive is done already, which leaves the shooter and pneumatics. Use the built-in drive as an example of how to do this.
Given that I'm not good at LabVIEW, that I don't know exactly how you want your controls to work, and that it's kind of late at night, I can't give much specific help. I have a feeling that you may need shift registers for things like turning your shooter or pneumatics on or off with buttons.

Hope that helps!
