It is certainly possible to do all that stuff in LabVIEW. And it will probably be easier for you to start doing that with LabVIEW, because the learning curve for Java is much steeper. That being said, I personally prefer Java pretty heavily, and if you have people that want to learn a text based, object oriented* language, then programming your robot in Java is definitely something that I would recommend.

* I get that LabVIEW has the ability to be object oriented, but it is certainly not part of the core feature set that most students learn, and I have yet to see someone actually use it.
