Need Help Programming VEX

I am a Rookie team sponsor, we have succesfully built our FTC robot, but I dont know where to start with the programming. We have just been testing everything with the preprogrammed slots on the micro controller. I have the EasyC programming kit aqnd have read through the programming guide, but doesnt provide a whole lot of help. So any recommendations out there would be great. We have four wheel drive, plus two motors running our arm and hand.

Thank You

Mike B., I got hung up when trying your link.

Mike G. Is this the programming guide that you already have? http://www.usfirst.org/community/fvc...t.aspx?id=6650 Remember, you must have the Master Code v. 7 and the 2007 Quad Quandary competition template downloaded.

There is a bit of programming advice for rookies in this white paper, though it focuses more on the mechanics:

The link is good (I just verified it). Note that the file is a 32MB pdf file. Even at DSL speeds it may take 10 minutes or more to download. Also be sure that your browser has the Adobe plug-in to read pdf files.

Re: Need Help Programming VEX

check out: http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/Competitions/

There is a video that pretty much goes from start to finish on how to program the robot. Also the help file has a great getting started section.
