I do not believe Robolab enforces any structure aside from a sequence of
connected icons. It is up to the programmer to position things nicely in order
to show structure. Robolab does have tools to align icons and wires.
The programs on HaciendaRobotics.com do look better than some of the Robolab
programs I have seen on the internet. However,
http://www.haciendarobotics.com/lessons/programming/wallbumper/index.html
This page shows how to create a subVI that contains a jump and land icon.
According to the unofficial FLL FAQ you cannot reuse that subVI in your program
or bad things will happen.
http://fll-freak.home.comcast.net/faq/faq_robolab.htm
The program referenced above does not reuse the subVI, but creating subVIs is
generally a tool to allow easy reuse of code that is repeated in other places in
a program (as an alternative to subroutines).

It looks like you will have the same label (land icon color) twice in this case, as subVI a is just a macro. However, a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

| Hi Steve, (...) all the programs you have are well-structured, not spaghetti-code as one would expect for flowcharts at least some of the time.
