Hello all, I'm a mentor for a FRC Robotics Team. For the summer, I want to try to make a VI that is able to create sub-programs for the autonomous period. Basically, there would be this canvas that the user could move the "robot" (aka rectangle) around, and it would record its movements and "translate" them into "motor code". For instance: I want my robot to go straight for about 3 feet, rotate 90 degrees clockwise, and go another 3 feet. I would take the rectangle, drag it up an equivalent 3 feet (maybe using a grid pattern to show 0.5 feet increments), rotate the rectangle 90 degrees clockwise, then drag it another 3 feet. This is the big picture. Right now, I want to know if it's possible to have a user drag a picture (such as a rectangle) and have the program where it is on a coordinate plane. Thanks!
