I'd add more, but the important parts have already been covered... all within about two hours. Congratulations CD posters on doing an excellent job to help someone new to the field once again.

And if it is any comfort, it took me (programming since C64 days) a while to come up to speed, and our programming mentor (a professional software jockey) a couple weeks to make the switch from computers to robots. One of the great things about FIRST is that there is a lot for us old guys to learn, too!

Once you get the I/O figured out, there is a massive overlap in the skill set. Sounds like your on track to become an excllent mentor for this team!
