Re: How to avoid using LabView

Just one more note on C++ that sometimes get overlooked with the cRIO: the WindRiver loader. Code will sometime compile just fine and when it gets loaded into the cRIO there are startup exceptions that can go unnoticed until you actually try to run Autonomous or Tele-Op from the driver station.

Depending on what your goals are as a rookie team and where your students are starting in terms of programming skills, you may want to reconsider LabView as it is a low entry point for a team with limited experience/resources.
