We'd like to run our code (say the autonomous portion) and check for run-time errors. Is it stepping through the code as expected? Are values being reset or set as expected? Will it run at all? We can worry about the proper values (like the distance to the end of the straightaway, or how far to turn) when we test on the actual robot. Since our time on the robot is limited though, we'd like to do all the preliminary bug finding in LabView.

The VIs provided seem to be dependant on the DAQ and dashboard. Am I wrong about this? The description talks about hardware-in-the-loop testing. If I don't have the hardware (since another part of our team is using it), then I need another way to test the software. One of the NI spokesmen in Atlanta said I should be able to do this, but he didn't know how. Has anyone ever tried?
