That's correct. WildDraw was a VB.NET program that was used to create waypoints. The waypoints were then placed (copy/paste) into our robot code. The drivers would use a selector switch (allowing for 8 waypoint sets) to choose the desired path of the robot. The waypoint grid was based on the geometry of our robot and the field.
Sachiel - What sort of program would this end up being? Time based? How are you going to take into consideration the dynamics of a robot? Momentum, wheel slippage, and field obstacles are some challenges to consider. You can tell a robot to drive forward for 2 seconds and back for 2, but the forward momentum at the end of the first 2 seconds would cause your end position to be further forward than the start.
