Maybe i can shine some light on this.
The small laptop doesn't come with the labview. i know it sucks
,
BUT
they come with the CD and you can put it on another computer (I.E. laptop or desktop)
We are selfs have members of the programming team bring them in their own. we currently have 4 with labview and working fine. the mini laptop we are only using as the driver station and only for the driver station. beside who wants to program on such a small screen.
(any questions on how to set up your personal laptop to program and download the code to the robot just ask
)
