My team primarily uses LabVIEW, but I would like to learn to work with Java and C++ as well. I may also use some of the scenarios you provide to help teach other programmers from my team who also wish to learn to work with these languages. I'll probably work with the 2013 version of the FRC libraries so I can use jRIO to test.

Edit: when I say scenarios I mean list different actuators, sensors, and functions that the robot would use.

Ideas for what your code could control:

1. Drive Code (as notmattlythgoe suggested)
2. Shifting Code
3. Some sort of collector
4. A pneumatic actuator (perhaps an Arm)
5. Autonomous modes - drive forward, 1 ball, 2 ball, 3 ball
6. Kid Mode for Drive Code (for robot demos - pretty much a quick way to set the robot to drive slower so that kids can drive it)
7. Kinect control for Autonomous
8. Compressor status & pressure sensor readouts
9. A shooting mechanism, probably based on whatever your team used this year.

If you can do all of that, you can program most of what a robot might require.
