Re: [FTC]: New Android Control System

Gdeaver,

I agree that the Java/Android Studio environment is a step up in complexity from RobotC and a HUGE step up in complexity from Labview. It will definitely be a challenge for teams without strong CS mentors.

Have you considered using AppInventor instead? It's simpler to learn and use than Java is, and probably much easier to learn for folks coming from Labview.

You might want to have your kids try both for a week or so and see what they're more comfortable with.

Good luck!
