Re: Team with beginner programmers?
Hi! I'm glad you're joining a FIRST team and are trying to learn stuff over the summer!

Personally I hate LabView and would NOT recommend a beginner to use it. It can be very confusing and the logic behind it is much more complicated to understand than that of C++ and Java. We used Java on my old team (I moved this summer so I have to switch teams) and I loved it. The language is nice and it's very organized. Plus there's a ton of help for it and FIRST makes it really simple to code basic robot functions. Hope this helps!
