This isn't good advice to give to a new student (I'm assuming the OP is a student). If a student or team wants to learn a language there are mountains of resources available through the FIRST community to help them. Some of the best have already been posted and I hope that the OP can get some one-on-one time with mentors familiar with programming in C++. My old teammate, John, up there already offered to personally help him out.


To the OP: Do you know what other veteran teams are nearby you? I'm sure many of them would be willing to spend some time getting up to the point where you can turn motors and map joysticks to commands.

Since you have only a few short weeks left till "bag & tag", you might consider postponing the C++ learning till after that date and make the various robot functions work with LabVIEW for now.
