Re: Is switching from LabVIEW a bad idea?
If you have the support from a mentor knowledgeable in C++ and believe that your team can use C++ (or Java) effectively in the short season, I would say go for it! I would definitely use it in the off-season first so that you can get a feel for it though.
I haven't really felt like the support for C++ or Java has been waning over the years, though I definitely acknowledge that LabView as it relates to FIRST has far more support than any other language. C++ and Java are used so much more extensively than LabView that I think this is warranted, and actually brings LabView on par with C++ and Java in terms of support if you include the vast resources and people with experience for the latter two.
