First time programming...

I have been looking over the cookbook and have read the getting started with java guide, but i still don’t quite get how to actually make a robot move, any help? all i need to do is make a few motors spin… thanks

From the 2010 season, but still very relevant. Good luck getting started!

Java is object oriented. Very helpful thing.

Think about what you have.

Jaguar(s) or Victor(s) that control the Motor(s).
Joystick(s).

additional hint: RobotDrive

Then its all methods.
