Actually our Labview Guru is a Lead Test Engineer here at Harris, and is typically our our Drivetrain Mentor and leads the Strategy Subteam. Our two lead programmers work entirely in C and had their six students writing in C last year. All the work that they have done through the past four years has all been in C, including our Camera work and all of our PIDs. They also helped half our alliance partners program auto modes in Philly, and did some similar work in Atlanta last year. So we have a fair amount of background in C ourselves, but havent yet had the experience of trying to use Labview to program the robot. I expect we would start the port with C code, and then try and figure out how to redo a bunch of it in Labview so we could instruct teams that want to go that route. But yes we are looking forward to working with SparX, XCats and the other teams for their wealth of knowledge as well!
