Alan is quite correct here (Oh,and Happy birthday Alan). Imbedded programming (which FRC programming is) is very hardware and processor specific and generic programming will only get you so far.

That said, Practicing using LV will give you the understanding of how to wire LV programs and will get you used to the interface ... just expect to have a few things that you'll need to modify once you start programming for the FRC specific hardware.
