Re: Team with beginner programmers?

Oh, I guess that we should point out that since you are in 8th grade moving into high school, you can take an AP test and get college credit if you know Java. That being said, I still say that LabVIEW is better if you want to do vision. Additionally, it is comparably just as easy as any other text based langauge. LabVIEW however, is a dataflow language, whereas the other two are structural, making LabVIEW require a different mindset.

Welcome to FIRST, and good luck!
