Re: Programming Advice for Newer FRC Team?
Since you have support in all 3 languages I would recommend you use what will help the students in the long run. We used LabVIEW a couple of seasons but have programmed with Java the last 2. We switched mainly because we had a number of students interested in pursuing computer science degrees. Not to say you won't learn about standard programming methodologies with LabVIEW however being familiar with Java (or C++) and learning about Object Oriented programming will give them a leg up in college.
