Re: Do you hate or like labview or want to use c
We went with C++ for this year because it is what I was more familiar with, and I was the head programmer -- no one else on the team had familiarity with LabVIEW at all, and a few others had slight familiarity with C-based languages.

I tried LabVIEW at one point in the season with the idea that it would help our programming, so others could help out without knowledge of syntax -- it just didn't make sense to me, I couldn't figure it out... I'll learn it eventually, probably, but in the crunch of the season, we stuck with what we knew.

LabVIEW is incredibly powerful, and would have been awesome! ... but I prefer C++.
