LabVIEW is not required, and you don't need to use the default Dashboard as a starting point. The robot can be running a program written in any language, and so can the computer hosting the rumble-capable controller.

Minimal UDP communication from cRIO to computer is simple, but if you don't want to roll your own, there are well-supported implementations of Network Tables (and thus Smart Dashboard variables) for LabVIEW, C++ and Java.
