Newbie Alert. Our robot is competing, and I can't program it.

[Gondorf5]

This is the newbie alert for anyone who is very knowledgeable in C++. ANY C++ PROGRAMMERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VISIT AND REPLY IN THIS THREAD. IF YOU ARE A PROGRAMMER FOR C++ AND CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO

I was kind of thrust into the job of programmer for this year's 2012 FRC. Things worked out pretty well for the FTC because we were using ROBOTC and I could therefore use shortcuts like "catalysts" to take care of everything an experienced programmer can usually do, but because FRC robots don't use ROBOTC as a programmable language, I have to start from scratch and get a workable program set up before mid-March, preferably before the end of February.

I think I can officially say I have no idea what I'm doing. If anyone who knows a lot about Wind River and C++ is within the sight of my text, I implore you to help a fellow programmer figure out what to do.

A simple program to run arcade mode and a couple of motors on a Logitech controller for the Teleop program, basic robot-programming related Wind River info (such as where the compiler is and where I go in the program to see my lines of code)... Anything would be extremely helpful right now, preferably an arcade tank drive program at least.

Many thanks from Team 1691,
