Re: Programs for the new FRC platform
If you have a LabVIEW expert, go with LabVIEW. If you have a C/C++ expert, go with C++. If your expert would end up dominating and not allowing the kids to program, go against their strength.

If you don't have a mentor expert, and you truly have a blank slate to work from, I would personally go with LabVIEW. I've stumbled through teaching C++ and LabVIEW (I'm not an expert in either), and I've found that people completely new to programming pick up LabVIEW quicker. However, that is just anecdotal - I'm sure the pendulum swings both ways.
