Re: Java vs Labview

Team 900 is (almost) unanimously in favor of Labview. We used Java last year and had all kinds of trouble with getting the robot to actually move. We switched to Labview this year and our robot runs beautifully. Also, most of our programmers this year didn't have any experience with either language before the start of the year and they picked up Labview really quickly.

Of course, the number of programmers on the team at least tripled from last year to this year, so that could make a difference too...
