What Language To Use?

If you think your team may be "struggling with programming", then I suggest picking a language that has a lot of FRC support already available. While Python may be cool, you'll struggle with it far more than with LabView, for example.

The choice for our team was mainly dictated by what the mentors knew, and that was LabView.

Remember that no matter which language you choose, there is generally no task that can't be done. So it becomes a matter of what is easiest to master.

+100

that is how I re-learned labview... that, and reverse-engineering the code for an old 2010 bot (and getting a better resultant code) worked out well.

for newcomers, labview would be my recommendation. but use whatever your team knows best.
