Also, how complicated was it to program and how long would you say it would take to get something up and running?
I suppose anything is posible. Just remember that if your not familiar with this software or programing it, it will take time. We just had one of our programers get to work on our simulator. We didnt have enough time to program our elevator just the drive, and that isn't even accurate because we have a 2 speed system on our robot. My answer is yes, you could put your autonomous mode into there but it may take more time than programing your autonomous itself. You probably would have more luck with just trial and error in real life.
