NI Labview is apparently much more powerful than I have previously given it credit. Some students were able to design, model, prototype, simulate, and eventually
BUILD a functional SEGWAY in 3 months. I wonder if they will go into competition with Dean Kamen for Segway sales

A direct quote from the video:

I fully understand why hand-coding everything can be beneficial.. However, after seeing some students make a flipping segway out of Labview, It makes me want to learn! If anybody else can find some cool Labview videos, link us up!
On another note, they used the cRIO and it's standard components to build this segway.. This thing is POWERFUL!!.. Abnormally FAST.. It can go as fast as KENYANS.. People will watch it and think it's KENYAN.. Maybe it will be deported back to KENYAAA... (
I'll stop now)
