You can pick up an NXT 2.0 kit for around $300 US, this would have enough in it to become quite fluent in the software.

I believe the two allowed environments are NXT-G and Robolab which are both graphical. NXT-G being more common but you should be reading on the official FLL website.

NXT-G is based on LabVIEW.
I assumed pseudo C because of Arduinos. I do not think it would be practical to be teaching middle and elementary school children assembly or raw C/C++.
