Again thanks for any and all help, and all help already given! I don't want to ask for too much but I don't know too much about the drive system aspect, and if we were doing this in C++ a few of our teachers and I would probably be the main programmers, so we're kinda in the dark!
LabVIEW examples for WPILib are most easily reached from the Getting Started window. You can click on the Examples list and it is near the bottom. It demonstrates how to use the Y axis on two joysticks to control a skid steer driving platform. At least on the update I have, there wasn't a holonomic example.

If you actually want to learn LV, I'd suggest watching a few tutorials, perhaps with the students. NI has quite a few, and there are also good ones on LVMastery.com.
