Re: Programs for the new FRC platform

you'll know you have 2 choices - NI LabVIEW or Windriver Workbench

for our team, we're going to try both at the same time, compare advantages and disadvantages of it.

for this year our main programming code will be based on C++ since i know better about C++ and I'm the main programmer.

the only reason I'm doing both is because the rest of the programming members don't actually know about C/C++, well nothing about programming, and I wanted to let them do it easy way, by looking graphically what's happening.

but if it appears that LabVIEW is better, we are (at least i am) willing to change to labview system beginning next season

by the way, I believe C++ will have more control over it(robot&its mechanism affected directly by software) and it'll give more freedom to programmers
