Gary: As Marshall [kamocat] said above, you should definately create some type of practice project for youself first, and then you should be able to recreate and advance it different ways to where you can easily explain it to your students. I personally created several different things including mapping an old usb joystick and using it to find the angle/direction/speed that it would drive different drivetrains should it be used later. This should be fairly easy for you if you are familiar with EasyC. There are several tutorials on here [no links atm] that tell you to create something such as a 'working' vending machine. After that, syntax and logic should be easily passed on to the students.
As far as writing code for the robots, you have to remember that WPI is creating a whole series of ... [the word escapes me but they are basically functions] that will aquire joystick and sensor values from the robot through cRIO. this is a horrible explanation of what they are but as long as you know you won't be dealing directly with writing code to get them.
