I'm trying not to hate labview but...

I'm thinking there has to be a way to create a bundle without specifying default values, but I cannot figure it out. I have labview with the first update installed, is the current code template necessarily the last one?

If you open up the pre made 2 wheel drive subVI, it creates two motor dev refs and builds an array from them. You can follow this lead and have a single array entry in the robotdata which holds all of your motor refs. The slight downside to using an array is remembering what slot in the array is for what motor. There are plenty of ways for handling that, or you could build a cluster -- similar to a struct or record in other languages -- and there you can give the elements of the cluster descriptive names. The default value as the controls are dropped should be fine as their value will really be defined by the Open. All LV controls except refnums support a default value, and it is quite useful, but not always necessary.
