Programming with the 2009 controller

I think that everyone should just take a step back and look at the whole picture, FIRST is a family, not an organization full of regions, we all try to help each other, not 'cause it benefits us, but because it's graciously proffesional. - Mike Schroeder [more]

Danny,

That's true....but what I find inspires these kids is getting them to the point of competency with the programming. I expect them to write the VI's to perform autonomous, control the drives and other actuators and implement feedback control, as well as being able to debug.

I don't expect them to become LabView experts....but I DO want to leave them with that taste of wanting more. THAT's what I call inspiration.

BTW, will the FRC Toolkit VI's that I have be of any use?
