National Instruments and Wind River both deserve our gratitude for their support and sponsorship.

This thread, which I started, has taken some curious twists and turns.
I guess some people thought I was trying ignite a religious war to denigrate NI.
Your post looks like a perfect opportunity for me to set it straight.

I am new to FRC, my daughter just entered high school this year.
When I learned that FRC would be using a 32-bit PowerPC controller this year, I was thrilled.
When I learned that Wind River was providing Work Bench, I was ecstatic.

Please read my original post.
I don't think I asked for anybody to post that they hate Labview.
I just wanted to hear from teams that were using WRWB and maybe a few comments as to why.

FRC requires an enormous investment of time and energy -- for students and their parents.
I was trying to estimate the 'bang for the buck' on that investment.
I can teach my daughter to be a software engineer without FRC.
