You can also control the robot using WiFi using the Remote Control tab in LabVIEW for LEGO Mindstorms.

Note: Once our programs got sufficiently large, the Run Program in FTC mode within the LabVIEW Remote control didn't always give predicatble results.

We needed to switch back and forward between developing/downloading with Labview -- and -- using the FCS to run a match.

Also note, you can't have two programs connected to the NXT through the Samantha at the same time. So it's either LabVIEW or FCS, but not both. Once it's connected, LabVIEW holds onto the connection until it's completely closed, so it can be a bit frustrating switching back and forwards all the time.
