Do you have any mentors who can teach programming? What I did with my team's rookies was use Google Hangouts on Air to record the session and basically told them to watch it. Afterwards, they were expected to know how to code and if they didn't, they would have to learn quickly.

Are there some basics that you know about your robot? If you think you're going to shoot, you could code a basic shooter with a flywheel. That would be very easy for a new programmer. You could also have them code a tank drive setup just to make sure they know how to code drivetrains in general.
