Thank you! Basically it is robot code that will allow any general user (driver) to change specific properties of the code without the programmer needing to constantly re-compile. For example, if there were two drive wheels (left and right) the driver would tell the robot which PWMs each was on and then specify how the joysticks controlled them, (direct drive tank, single joystick, car, etc).
Also, various other peripherals will (eventually) be supported like the camera, where all that the user needs to do is specify where each data connection is (which pwms are for tilt and pan for the camera) and enable it.

Often the challenge of hardware is a little intense for rookie programmers, especially if they have no one who's knowlidgeable on their team to help them get started.

I'm sorry school doesn't deem chiefdelphi appropriate, but thanks.

I didn't expect there to be replies already. This encourages me to keep working.
