Java: I know java, but do not know how to program a robot with it. There seems to be much less stuff already set up for FIRST. I like java, and would use it, but it seems much harder to get started with.
Any help much appreciated!

Seeing as you're already familiar with Java, I assume you already have Netbeans. If you don't, just go
here to download it.
WPI supplies a good
document for getting started with Java. Page 5 tells you how to install the FRC plugins, which allow you to create new FRC-specific projects. You should also check out Brad Miller's video tutorials on YouTube to help learn the basics of Java-based robot programming.
Hope this helps!
