Sunny G. speaks wisdom. Check out the many language threads on these forums. Weigh the Pro's and Con's.

I always suggest "Go with what you Know". If you have a student or mentor with skills in LabView, Java or C++, then make use of those skills! Time is short.

With no previous skills, a graphical language interface like Labview may be easier to grasp than a syntactical language. Having said that, check out WPI's RobotBuilder videos on YouTube. It will be available with the Java Netbeans and C++ WindRiver/Eclipse IDE's this year. "Pictures-to-Code" is a leap up the learning curve.

Lastly, post and "Search" your questions! There are superb software engineers and programmers on these forums that are waiting to help.

Good Luck!
Eric
