Thanks for the replies. The main reason I am using the VEX is so that I can experiment programming a fully running robot at home while the high-school team still has a big pile of parts on the floor.

Yes, Kevin's framework looks quite impressive!

My questions are this:

(1) Will Kevin's code run on a VEX robot? (I can answer this myself in the morning just by compiling and running it of course.)

(2) Does his default framework have, out of the box, everything you need to drive a basic frame robot around or do you have to write all of that yourself?

As I said in my first message programming, C, or MPLAB, are not the issue. I'm just trying to understand, in code, how you get from point-A to point-B to make the robot respond to inputs and outputs across the board. I found a big missing hole in the sample code provided on the VEX so I quickly got stuck there.

I will read the documentation that is included in the links.

Thanks,

John & Alex
