Re: Labview Updates

Theoretically, the updates are safe and if you read through the list of things they fix, you may find something you care about. But last year's patch broke a binary interface for vision and it was rather bad timing for the affected teams.

If you have LV 2016 for work and install the updates, they should not interfere with FRC, shouldn't have done so last year either. If your LV installation is purely FRC, I'd recommend not installing the update unless FIRST or the ni.com/frc page explicitly requests that you do so. It just isn't worth the network or personal bandwidth it takes. I wish I could opt FRC users out of them, but I'm pretty sure I can't win that lawyer-fight.
