P.S. Our team has never used Kiwi before.
Thanks!
That is the exact page that I used to actually make the LabView VI I attached. It matches the code provided by others here on CD as well.

Thanks Ether, that Inverse Kinematics will be a great help in teaching this process to my students. I guess I had forgotten to search the White Papers for more information on the subject.

Once Spring Break is over, I am hoping to validate my code.
In the mean time, I plan on using my little Vex bot. It works now, but I will be adding a Gyro to it in the next couple of days to help make it even more stable. Currently everything runs in open loop, so you can imagine there might be a few instabilities.
