The real place to start is at http://usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem....



That is where FIRST has posted the control system manual, along with links to other documentation from NI and WPI.

Read section 1 of the manual all the way through. It will point you to where you need to get anything else you need. It has has the 10 step process for getting everything set up, and eventually into a robot. It leads you along in a logical fashion. No matter what you do, don't miss step 2, inventorying the kit within 3 days. You'll proceed along, first hooking everything up in a benchtop test, then verifying very basic functionality. You'll then progress to loading new "images", setting up the wireless, and finally writing your own code. To quote the manual once again.

Thanks Joe.!!!
I too would like to re-enforce the though of reading the manuals. There is more info stuffed into them than you might imagine.

I do have one question that didn't seem to fit into the forums. On the link you provided as the place to start, there is a link for "Chapter 4 Software Installation". It only leads back to USFIRST.org. Any clue what is up with that??
