See
this thread or
this webpage for info on interfacing LabVIEW with Arduinos.
In terms of controlling motors, it depends on what type and size of motors you have. Small (what I tend to call) "
hobby motors" you could probably control with just a transistor controlled by one of the Arduino's digital output pins. If you want to use motors much bigger than that, you'd probably going to need to get an actual motor controller. The Arduino should be able to
control all six motors, but you'll need 6 motor controllers to do the current switching (although motor controllers packaged in 2s are commonly available). Many motor controllers (including the Victors and Jaguars from FIRST) are PPM/PWM controlled, so check out the Arduino's
servo libraries.
