Re: What software program/language is best for roboRio?

I second this. The programmer knowing what he (or she) is doing is much more important than what language they use.

I would recommend standardizing the team to use one language (even if different students have experience with different languages) because otherwise you will need to re-image the RoboRIO every time you want to change languages.
