Run: Compiles, downloads, and immediately begins running the program.
Deploy: Compiles and downloads the program.
Debug: Compiles, downloads, and immediately begins running the program. The front panel window for the VI goes into a run state and Front Panel controls and indicators can be used to interact with the program running on the brick.

Okay thank you (finally found the quotes!) now could you... recommend (?) any programming methods for this year? (ie. conditions, loops, nxt usage)
And the template installed w/ LV is the template that we should be using, right?

I recommend using the templates. The most essential part of the teleop templates is the communication loop. If you decide against using the templates please use the same communication loop in your code. Great care was taken to optimize this loop to give the greatest possible remote control over the robot.

I recommend beginning your development with your VIs targeted to the computer. This will allow you to utilize the full suite of LabVIEW debugging tools (Highlight execution, single stepping etc). Once you have your code working you should then target the VI to the NXT deploy the code to the brick.

When developing code with the VI targeted to your computer try to stick to the NXT programming palette when adding structures, functions, etc. This will prevent you from writing code with an unsupported function that will throw a 1003 error at compile time.
