Re: C or LabVIEW: CompactRIO

1). well we used WPILib this year so there woulnt be a problem with use codeing in C/C++ next year. with that said we are already looking in to how to use labview because we think that we will be able to do alot more with labview than with C/C++ ( well in 6 weeks that is)

2). I think labview will become the new standard

3). rookies will pick what every has the better how too videos, or the best "getting started with _____" documentation. on that I see them using labview

4). no idea on what first will use . . but for specializations sake it will be standard labview with some custom first functions.

5). I think programing any thing for real is better than programing for "fake". so if you've got some NXTs go a head and use labe view to try some things out.



6). I think the only limitations to labview till be the learning curve, and with the exception of maybe some very easy "push button - raise arm" code every thing will be "more difficult" with C/C++
