A copy of LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS (LVLM) comes with the FTC Kit of Parts.

It's also available for purchase from LEGO Education:

Some cool things about this product are the ability to do live remote control (via the PC) as well as the usual labview programming.

Whare are you competing in MATE? (I'm also starting a team).

thanks for the link! I have three teams that compete in the Long Beach regional. One at the elementary, and two at the middle school levels. I have found this is a great way to keep my lego teams engaged during the spring

Hey Phil,

I would be interested in seeing what you did in your seaperch camp. We are planning on hosting a tournament for local schools.

Hi

We do a 5 evening camp.

First 3 days are spent building, the next 2 are spent doing missions.

We do a theme each year...

Year 1: Raise the Titanic
Year 2: Cap the Oil Leak
Year 3: Underware robots in space (Neutral Bouancy for NASA and Search for life on Europa)

Here's a video showing some early missions..
