Re: Programming Advice for Newer FRC Team?
I would recommend C++. Deploy times are around 1 minute (or less), the environment is easy to set up (albeit you need the LabView disc and two WindRiver ones), and it's pretty easy to learn (even if you have no programming experience). Unless you have people who know LabView, I wouldn't recommend it. LabView experts are like truffles; they're really hard to find, and worth a fortune. C++ and Java programmers are more common (no offence!). The C++ deploy times were my favourite part. We created our entire Autonomous programme in-between matches at the competition this year.
