 * Installing the LabVIEW support components In addition to the Java development tools you need to also install the LabVIEW support components such as the Driver Station, Imaging Tool, and others onto your system. See Installing the 2014 NI FRC Update for details on installing these components.

 * **Using Robot Builder and NetBeans**
 * When setting up Robot Builder you __//**MUST**//__ to change the default java package from 'org.usfirst.frc0000' to 'edu.wpi.wpilibj.templates'. Otherwise, when the Robot builder code is exported to NetBeans it will throw major errors.
 * [] (Great youtube videos on programming with NetBeans and Robot Builder)
 * Using Robot Builder is fairly simple.
 * Select New, Give your Robot a name and input your team number. Change the default java package to use the current years version and uncheck the box that says "Use Default Java Package". Next create a wiring file name and save it to a location. (all of this is under the main folder tree icon in the GUI). Now on to creating FrankinBot!
 * Identify your Subsystems (i.e. DriveTrain, shooter/gripper). Subsystems are the base areas of operations and functions on your Robot.
 * Next, you will want to think through the command structure of your robot. An example might be, "I need to drive forward in Autonomous, then back again.". Simply commands like 'drive' and 'backup' will suffice. You will want to create similar commands for all the functions of your robot. If you have an area of your robot where you need multiple commands to run you will need to not only create each command on its own but also you will need a command for all of them to run together, this is called a 'command group'. For instance, let's take the 1332 2013 DIsc Robot. This has multiple commands just to throw a disc. For instance, we would need to operate the disc loader both open and closed. We also need the shooter wheel to spin up. Our commands would look like, LoaderOpen, LoaderClose, ShooterMotor and the command group would be Launch. (These are just examples you can name them what ever you like).
 * The last thing in Robot Builder you will want to do is add a means of controlling your Robot. Under operator Interface you will want to add a Joystick (or two if you need it) or maybe a game pad. You can also add a joystick/game pad button(s) (under whichever controller you choose) to operate the various tasks of your Robot.
 * Save your robot creation and export to Java/NetBeans!! Remember the location of your export as you will need to import it into NetBeans.

 * Wikipedia on what Cv is || http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient || //In other countries, use [|Kv (flow factor)] //The **flow coefficient** of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing [|fluid] flow. It describes the relationship between the [|pressure drop] across an [|orifice], valve or other assembly and the corresponding [|flow rate].

Cv = Flow coefficient or flow capacity rating of valve.

F = Rate of flow (US gallons per minute).

SG = [|Specific gravity] of fluid (Water = 1).

ΔP = Pressure drop across valve (psi). ||
