Also, remember that for learning LabVIEW you can use simulation. That way they can get started with just a computer and a joystick. I would suggest having a look at the tutorials on the Getting Started Window of LabVIEW.

That would be great. That will help out with teaching the kids. We plan on using the simulator to. Also it will be only for FRC use.
aeastet: I will have to take a look at your code. Always fun to see other teams code. We should be posting are code soon if you are interested. If you want we can compare some notes with teaching.
We are from Peoria IL but we will be teaching a class in Bradley IL for the rookie team. it will be a 4 hour one day class. Also we are putting on a once a week class in Peoria il for the surrounding teams. We can look into recording it to if people would be interested.
I will warn you that the video may not be to useful since most of it will be centered around are new mini robot. My team has been working the past 2 years on creating a cost effective robot that can be programmed by Labview, operated wirelessly and have the same look and fell of the FRC programming structure. Currently the price for parts is ~$140 for the whole robot. we are hoping to reduce it some more to make it more affordable. By using these robots we can get the student to robot ratio down drastically. This seems to really accelerate the learning and interest of students.
