Re: Using Multiple Languages

We do not use multiple languages on our robot, but in our team. Our cRio is labview, computer vision is c or c++ (mentors encourage c++, for college studies)-whichever the student prefers, and our scouting system is in c#. I personally like the variety. It allows for a more well rounded programmer. If you don't enjoy labview, you can try out C++, C# or just plain old C. We have a mentor that learned labview through FIRST many many years ago, another is an electrical engineer that has been learning c++ with the rest of the students, and we have another mentor who develops code in c# for a living, so we have support in all three.
