Labview for FIRST has to be the most horrible decision anyone has ever made in FIRST. My son is a programmer and even after multiple attempts of using the code we were given by the team, AND then myself an engineer applied for access for an evaluation copy have struggled for him to be able to spend any time outside a singular school computer to work on the robot program. Often he just sits and watches the mentors program because he doesnt have the computer to use or learn on. N.I. should be ashamed of themselves after all the money force by FIRST to spend on NI hardware and software by parents to help get their students to learn. We easily obtained copies of Autodesk Inventor to use to learn on and had easy and prompt support. Autodesk understands that if students can learn their systems they will want their systems. The best lesson taught by NI is to never use labview or purchase NI hardware unless you are forced to by FIRST.
