On our team, we are really not doing anything that we have not done before. There are really no features on this robot that we could not have implemented in C on the old IFI platform controller.
To me the key benefit has been that I have found it much easier to teach students how to program in LAbview vs programming in C. The Graphical flow langauge seems to be easier to understand for inexperienced programmers as compared to written code (especially when I write it

).
In future years, as everyone becomes more comfortable with the new hardware, I think more advanced features will begin to come into play.
Just on speed alone, we can certainly all do way more on a 200MHz machine compared to 10Mhz, especially when we do not need any interrupts to support real time features.
