While Labview is a fine language and a number of power house teams use it, it's normally better to stick with what you know and advance on that instead of trying to relearn your main language. So I have to ask, what makes your alumni believe that programming/JAVA held them back from winning a blue banner?

Curious how does the electronic team use Java/Labview to test sensors? Can that not be done with a multimeter and an arduino?
