I want to make sure I know how things are hooked up. If one end of a PWM cable goes into a Victor speed controller, where does the other end go? Does it go into the SideCar? If so, where? If not, does it go right into the analog module? What about for Spike relays? It would be really disappointing to have a well-built robot that can't do a darn thing because it's not hooked up properly.

You do realize that EVERYONE just found out exactly what this thing is today? Wait for time to pass until manuals are printed and sent out or links to the product manuals. You could always visit NI and read about the overall platform.
