Hello,

I can almost guarantee the reason why you are not winning has nothing to do with your programming language. More advanced controls can be done in either and I know for sure world championships have been won with robots running on both Java and Labview.

The real question should be what do you and your fellow programmers know better. If they know Java better use java. If you know Labview better use Labview.

I watched a match of yours from this year. To start out I noticed you lacked on autonomous mode. That is probably something the programmers on your team should focus on. From there vision processing would be a good thing to learn. It looked like your team had a mechanically solid robot with a nice shooter but without vision processing, cross heirs, or a flashlight aiming was next to impossible.

Also are you a school based team? If so what language does your school teach. If it is Java I recommend staying with Java for sustainability purposes.

Hope this helps
