Last Minute Programmer - Need Help!

[burkey_turkey]

Hi,
Our teams programmer has the flu and will not be able to attend our first regional, the VCU regional. noone else knows how to program the bot. Does anyone know any really good quick start tutorials for programming the bot that i could look at? Obviously i can't program our real code until thursday, but if anyone could point me to resources to show me how to take standard joystick inputs (the variable parts and the button parts) and do random math and conditional logic on them to set some outputs (to either a victor or a spike) i would really appreciate it. I've programmed in other languages before but have never touched the Robots 1's and 0's before. THanks in advance for all your help, while i wait for a response i will look through the standard code and any resources i find from FIRST.

Also, if anyone has some spare time tonight and wants to talk me through some stuff my AIM is alboo2002, and i would love to chat :-)
