Additionally, FRC doesn't use "plain" Labview. There are a bunch of wrappers that we use specifically to allow remote shutdown of the robot, and to allow high school students to build robot code.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if this was necessarily the right place to be. If you know of any more general automation/motion control forums you would recommend, please let me know! I've been browsing online but haven't found too many that would fit with my project...
