Yes, I'll make it available at least for viewing online (downloading might take a little longer) sometime Monday.

One question in the 2nd tutorial, During the initial robot build, a FRC motor is selected. In the pull down menu in the tutorial there is listed a double cim motor. I can not find this in the FRC motor pull down in Labview.

The guys at WPI cheated a little bit. They made a couple small modifications to the modeling kit right before releasing the second tutorial, and it resulted in them having additional items in the pull-down list, which included a couple of the *real* motor characteristics. On Monday I'll give you a link to the third tutorial, which contains the config info you need to model additional motors - until then, yes, you can use those parameters to model the CIM motor they have shown. I will see what I can do to also have those additional motor configurations added to the drop-down list in the modeling kit VIs on monday as well.

Thanks for hanging in there with us!
