Re: LuNaTeCs 2016 LabVIEW Code Release!
If you have a very good mentor base in Java and not one in LabVIEW, then go ahead. If not, it's probably better to stick what you know with for now. IMO the benefits of switching to Java are more than outweighed by the downsides of having to learn to program the robot in a new language in the middle of the season. Programming a computer application in Java is very different from programming a robot. Wait till next off-season and let the programming team take time with as many old robots as possible to reprogram them in Java. Let them iron out the kinks of Java programming in the off-season, not in the middle of the build season when they need to be on their best game.
