Where can I steer my kids for the definitive resource to gain basic control over our team robot. Any ideas/resources would be appreciated!
I don't know if there are any nearby veteren teams, but the most efficient way would be to send a few members of your programming sub-team over for an evening, and learn the basics. Most teams will show more than enough GP to mentor you in this manner.

Alternatively, you may be able to talk a nearby team's programming mentor to visit your team for a few hours and do the same.

Team 188 has had members from teams around Toronto drop by for these kind of crash course sessions, and it has also sent mentors and students to other schools who've asked for help. Ask, and I'm willing to bet you'll find another team who'll do the same .
