Who has an actual programming team ?

[Kiwi]

This year, we have two sophomores and a freshman learning labview, plus one labview mentor and one mentor in general programming stuff. Last year it was basically me and a senior we got lucky enough to recruit, who actually knew C.

I'm technically the only experienced programmer on the team right now, and I've been working on oversight/integration but plan on coming back to help write autonomous. The other person with programming experience spends most of his time building electrical.

During the debates on whether to switch to C++ or LabView, I noticed that everyone who'd ever programmed before was in favor of C++, while all the roookies and electrical/mechanical engineers wanted the pretty pictures. Did any other programming departments encounter the same thing?
