Thanks in advance!
You might want to look at the RobotBuilder video, then the playlist about building programs with RobotBuilder on this page:

http://wp.wpi.edu/wpilib/robotics-videos/

The videos are from last year with NetBeans and we are trying to update them to Eclipse versions, but aside fro the minor differences of development environments, everything else, including the program, is identical.

It describes building a robot with, coincidentally, a gripper for picking up objects and an elevator for stacking them on top of other objects. Really, the videos were made a year ago.
