Just an update to my suggestion that you all check out the "Getting Started with NI LabVIEW for FTC" manual. (GS Manual for short)
I've uploaded a zip file to the NI FIRST community page with a fairly detailed description of a "fun Bot" that we designed for demonstrations. It's based on the standard robot design in the GS manual, with a manipulator added.
The zip file contains photos, the LabVIEW program and a description of how the code works.
It's located here:

There's also a video on youtube if you want to see it in action.

In the video it's actually being controlled directly from a PS2 wireless controller, but the sample code is for standard FTC bluetooth control.
