No clue where to start on Programming...

You can't go wrong with the resources at WPI either: http://thinktank.wpi.edu/tag/1

The 2 minute lesson:

In Labview, generate a default project for your robot. Be sure to put your team number in for the IP address (10.37.63.2) when you generate the project.

In Project Explorer, Expand the Build Specification thingy, right click on FRC Robot Boot Up Deployment and BUILD, after that finishes, same thing but click RUN AS STARTUP.

If all that succeeds, you now have a robot that will drive with a single joystick and a left and right motor.

To add more functionality, open up BEGIN.VI, press Ctrl-E to get to the block diagram. This is where you connect the programming world of Labview to the physical world of your robot. Check out the definition for the motors and the joystick to see how this is done.

To add other functions, right click in the block diagram to bring up the functions toolbox. Down at the bottom you will see the WPI LIBRARY, this is where most (all?) of the robot related functions are located. You can add motors, joysticks and other stuff here.

The bulk of your programming will take place in TELEOP.VI, this is the LOOP that runs while your robot is in telop mode. Same ideas apply as in BEGIN.VI, except here you will open references to the things you defined in BEGIN.VI, and do stuff with them; read sensors, send signals to motors.

That is the basics, after that, go check out examples, spend time on FRCMASTERY, hook up with other teams and all will be good.
