Additionally, your robot x and y coordinates would probably be generated using the algorithm this thread was discussing earlier and pulled from the robot to the dashboard. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thing Joe used simple input controls to illustrate the point (no pun intended) of using an XY Graph.
-That's just it, I can't get it to overlay points with the IMAQ overlay, I have yet to try Joe's method, but it looks promising!
-I did see that, and I was thinking about using the SmartDashboard to read the encoder values from the robot, just the numeric values, then do the calculations on the driver station, reducing CPU usage.

The equations and code for getting X, Y, and orientation from 3 omni follower wheels is discussed in Post 11 in this thread:

Thanks! I was wondering what the configuration of the wheel would look like. Also, the code really helped clear up confusion I had about how position would be calculated. So on the dashboard, one would just need to read the X, Y, and Q values and set them on the graph? The Arc & Chord pdf later in that thread helped a lot as well.
