Hello and welcome to the magnificent forum that is Chief Delphi.
I agree the first time you look at labview it can be VERY confusing, but you must remember, it follows the same rules and concepts of text based languages, it may be easy to get lost, but you can get almost anything to work if you follow a few simple steps.

1) "Get your feet wet, ask questions later." Simply put this means go ahead and fool around with labview and see what you can figure out on your own. Programming is a very large subject and you will not learn everything by asking questions.
2) FIRST supplies example code. Not only is this code extremely nice for demonstrations, but it can be easily integrated into your project. You just need to know where to put the various parts of the example.
3) A fresh roboRIO project is a working project. It may only give you a basic arcade drivetrain, but it includes all of the support code, and has plenty of comments for you to read and figure out what goes where.
4) Don't be afraid to ask questions, everyone thinks differently and sometimes what may be obvious to some is out of reach of others. Chief Delphi is a great community and will answer your questions in a relatively quick manner; provided you fully explain the problem, attach screenshots, etc.

Good luck with your programming endeavors.
