If you haven't yet experienced the joys of programming something that reacts to the outside world in realtime through sensors and actuators

Unfortunately I have not, which is why I don't know how practical it is to attempt to develop AIs, as I don't know how long it will take to hammer out all the issues with basic control.
I have a good understanding of the theory for AIs that's like these, but I have yet to find the the time to implement the theories behind them, especially on actual hardware, rather than simulated environments.
And since we are a rookie team, we have no prior experiences telling us how long it takes to write basic functions etc.

Good idea. Gonna get the team to start porting/writing a basic linear algebra library.
Edit:
Just noticed

Since my primary language (also currently as lead programmer) is Python, and I have some numpy experience (as oppose to no experience in any Java Lin. Alg library, if they manage to get it ported, and I could try helping, too), is it worth a try to get Python onto cRIO and then go from there?
A text editor (geany) + ftp (nautilus) sounds like heaven to me (minus the initial wind river stuff, but not a big deal)
