No, they are intended for FRC Robot Controllers not the VEX Controller. Most (if not all) FTC teams program in EasyC. I don't program the VEX controller myself, but I imagine most of Kevin's code examples could be easily ported by changing the controller specific setup.

Yes, they do have a drive routines. Although, his code examples are focused more on the advanced features of the RC rather than simple drive (which is in the default code from IFI)
