Re: What Language To Use?
If there is any question about which programming language to use, I would follow Don's advice and stick with C++, Java, or Labview.

You will find that if you encounter any problems, there will always be a mentor or student on another team nearby that can help you with any of those three. If you go with Python, your choices for assistance will be far more limited.

Python is fun for the off-season, but I would always stick to an officially supported language for the competition, because the libraries for the officially supported languages have been heavily tested and you get the support of other teams.
