Re: Learn C++ or Labview in a Summer?
Especially if you're starting coding now, I would take a look at WPILib. WPILib is a library for the current controller that simplifies many tasks, such as using encoders and ultrasonic sensors and outputting to motors, and is used as an alternate to Kevin Watson's default code. Also, from what I understand, next year's system will incorporate WPILib.

Our entire robot was coded with WPILib this year, and I would be more than happy to provide samples and help if you want. Feel free to contact me in any way.

I am extremely excited for next year due to the fact that we will finally be able to use floating-point numbers, opening up an entire avenue of possibilities.
