Danny,
That's true....but what I find inspires these kids is getting them to the point of competency with the programming. I expect them to write the VI's to perform autonomous, control the drives and other actuators and implement feedback control, as well as being able to debug.
I don't expect them to become LabView experts....but I DO want to leave them with that taste of wanting more. THAT's what I call inspiration.
BTW, will the FRC Toolkit VI's that I have be of any use?
