Use the tool that is most comfortable for you.

I believe that ALL of the teams that got the camera to work at the Peachtree Regional used Labview.

As a C++ die hard I was reluctant to use Labview. But when I saw how quickly the kids picked it up and how easy it was to teach, and how little trouble we had getting things up and running - I was sold.

We used to spend a LOT of time debugging missing semi colons, etc - so much so the kids would get bored and completely loose the point. Last year the kids were able to program the entire thing themselves with very little adult help. I've never had that experience with text based languages... They enjoyed it so much they even did some side projects.

Very pleased with the whole experience.

We'll be using LV again this year.
