My point was, if involvement in FIRST is only going to expose my daughter to Labview over the next 3+ years, I'm having second thoughts.
I don't think there is any risk of that.

By the time she goes to college, I want my daughter to be capable of developing robot control software that would be able to sense an object hurtling toward it and decide whether to take evasive action or catch the object -- oh, and to actually do one or the other before the object smashes into it or flies by.
Oh, well if that is all ...

Seriously though, this goes so far beyond software engineering. It is cutting edge vision processing and robotics. It sounds a bit like RoboCup actually, not a high school sport. I'm not sure all of the CS languages used there, but I know Darwin runs LV.
