No robot code without laptop

[Greg McKaskle]

Just to add a bit to the answer; the way to debug code is to run the LabVIEW VIs directly. For the roboRIO, this means the computer and roboRIO compare notes to see what it already has versus what it needs, and the computer ensures that the latest edits are compiled, sent to the roboRIO, and loaded into memory. This allows for quick turn-around edits and runs.

When you want to make the code auto-run, you follow the screen steps to actually build an EXE and deploy that to the disk of the roboRIO.
