Re: Windriver? Labview? Both?
Team 1111 is using C and C++ to program our robot simply because LabView is a proprietary software and C/C++ are standards. Anyone can write a compiler or IDE for C or C++. Labview seems like NI's way of trying to pull FIRST off course from it's goals and train students not to work towards an understanding of science and technology, but to stumble through it without having to know anything useful later in life. People using Labview can no more call themselves programmers than people using VB or Alice[/End Minirant]
