The simple answer is that no one language is better than the other. They are all perfectly capable of accomplishing all tasks needed for FRC robots. The most important thing is experience. If you or any students have any experience with any languages, go with that one.

If you're starting with very little programming experience, I'd recommend LabVIEW over C++. LabVIEW is a graphical language, and for simple robot programs its pretty easy.

If you are opposed to a graphical programming language, and you have no experience in either Java or C++, I'd recommend Java, as the language is a little bit simpler and doesn't have much memory management stuff.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.
