I didn't cite any statistics -- just personal observation and conjecture.

And, while it may appear I blamed LabView for robots having no autonomous capabilities, in fact, I attribute the tendency to choose LabView as being most often motivated by lack of software experience and capability.

I think the inexperienced generally perceive LabView as an easy tool for doing easy stuff -- which I admit it is -- but (I think it is) a fundamentally inadequate tool for doing harder stuff.

I should also point out that 1629's robot did do something useful during autonomous last year and was a LabView robot.
