I have searched through the software manual for the Talon SRX (http://www.ctr-electronics.com/Talon%20SRX%20Software%20Reference%20Manual.pdf
) and didn't find any mention of motion planning/trajectories.

Looking through the source for CANTalon in WPILib I do see mention of trajectories and motion profiles. Is there additional documentation somewhere that I am missing that actually talks about using motion profiles?
The motion profile stuff is being added this offseason to the CAN Talons. The documentation for it should be released at kickoff.
