Teams shouldchoose their programming language at this point.
Please note: while one person progresses through steps 3 and 4 using the computer yourteam plans to use for development, a second person may complete steps 5and 6 at the same time using the Classmate provided in your kit of parts.2.3 STEP 3 - INSTALL SOFTWARE ON THE COMPUTER YOU PLAN TO USE FORDEVELOPMENTThe 2010 FRC Control System can be programmed in LabVIEW, Java or C/C++.
Report any inconsistencies within 3 days of receiving yourkit to TIMS as directed in the 2010 Competition Manual teams will need to gather the following items from the 2009 Kit of Parts: cRIO 1 analog breakout 1 digital side car joysticks panel signal device robot radio & driver station radio solenoid breakout 2 standoffs 1 DB37 extension cable 4 Wago power connectors 1 spike relay 2 Jaguar motor controllers FIRST 2010 FRC Control System Manual: Section 1 Introduction, Rev1 of 58 3. the quantitiesyou received on your printed checklist.

Before you evenopen the Kit of Parts, we suggest you print out the documentation listed below and assemble it in abinder ready for immediate reference by your team. If you have feedback on the system or this document please post your comments on the FIRSTControl System Forum at STEP 1 ACQUIRE NEEDED DOCUMENTATIONYou will need the following documents as you assemble your control system.
We strongly suggest teams complete the steps below toperform an out of the box benchtop test before using any of the components to build a robot.The OTB Test is a way to - determine your Driver Station system is functional at a basic level - assure that devices werent damaged in shipping - ensure the Classmate and cRIO are imaged correctly - verify Classmate operation with the Robot Controller. 2GETTING STARTEDWelcome to the 2010 FRC season.
