Programming team infrastructure

Hello programmers of Chief Delphi. I am a returning programmer from TaRDIS 5416, a second year team. With that being said I would like to ask a few questions about some team infrastructure so we don't have quite such a hectic kickoff we did in our rookie year.

1: How does one go about creating libraries in Labview for Labview? I know there are some tutorials in this but the seem to be either outdated or for porting a .dll from another language such as C.

2: What are some possible pluses and minuses of using an Arduino board on the robot? Would it be more beneficial utilizing the C++ functionality of the RoboRIO?

3: How do you train new programmers? We have started a video series explaining the basics of Labview and Arduino coding (soon to be available to the public) and I was wondering if there was anything you do that we could incorporate into our videos.

4: We already have a cloud based (Google Drive) version control system in the works. Is this an acceptable alternative to using software that somebody would have to download?

5: Are there any important questions I missed to possibly build a solid programming team?
