Re: Pros and cons of using Labview?
Usability aside support for Labview in Ontario is almost zero. When we ran into an issue with Labview at Waterloo in 2013 we quickly found out that we were the only ones at our regional who used it. After searching around the only person who was able to provide help was 1114's programmer who had decided to learn all of the FRC languages for fun.

We switched away from Labview in 2014 and we have never looked back. From my experience using both I've found that Java is much easier to teach to students without a programming background.
