We used labview, for reasons not worth explaining here. Do I like labview? Not really. Learning labview is interesting, and although I think I would have preferred to use C++ I don't doubt using labview was a bad choice. Once you get used to the wire colors, and getting over the fact that its just going to get a little messy, it really isn't that bad. Sometimes after long nights on it debugging I get a little frustrated. I could not spend my career on it. But I can see were people are coming from by using it, I can see where people are coming from with not using it. I think it was very nice to get out of the "norm" of text programming, its good practice to get out of your comfort zone. I believe it was very nice for NI to give us this powerful software to use, and there is no doubt that I LOVE the new cRIO. I can see it being nice for FRC teams that have alot of FLL students coming up to them. And knowing Labview has helped alot with being a programming mentor for FLL.

Like said before. Programming is programming. Your purpose is to solve problems, both small ones like case orders, and big ones like traction control. Whether you program in Labview or C++ you are going to be a programmer, there to solve problems that the res of the team rather not fool with.

I like labview but I prefer text based programming.

EDIT: Oh yeah. And it was kinda weird to see an error in NXT lego software say "Could not find Sensors.vi"
