The Lego NXT is probably a good option for learning LabVIEW right now. However, I believe that NI is going to try and get the new controllers to the teams prior to kickoff so that they can start learning a little bit early. The last thing they want is for build season to start and have everyone struggle to learn LabVIEW in 6 weeks. Nothing is definite yet, but they said something might be ready at the end of summer/early fall time period.
