Once I've decided which camera to use:
What is the easiest/best PROGRAM to use? I'm coding in LabVIEW this year but also know basic C++ and Java, I have RoboRealm (program provided in the KoP) installed and ready on my laptop, and I've also seen stuff about something called SmartDashboard. Again, pros, cons, deciding factors, anything helpful?

Thanks!
I would like to say that I just posted a basic OpenCV tutorial on Chief Delphi. We use a ps3 eye cam because of the high fps.
