Completely New to LabView & FIRST

[itbmac]

Greetings! My name is MacKenzie Bates. I am on Avon Lake High School's 1st FIRST Robotics Club. I am in charge of programming, but have had no previous experience in LabView. I know HTML, CSS, Objective C, JavaScript, SQL and some of C# & C++. I have never worked with this graphical interface before. I understand the basic concepts, but am not sure how to accomplish the things that need to get done for our robot to properly function. It is basically me since no one else has had programming experience.

We have the car operate-able with a joystick so that is progress. We would like to have the camera operated by a joystick, be able to press a button to trigger a catapult that will throw a basketball, and press a button to lift the bridge. Really the bridge lift and catapult control are the major things two that have to work.

We have decided to sacrifice the autonomous mode so that the programming focus can be put on simply making the car controllable in the user-operation stage.

Any help on how we should go about accomplishing the three tasks would be great help.
