MPLAB is not a programming language. It is the development environment that comes with the FIRST kit of parts. Basically, it is a text editor with project management and syntax highlighting that integrates nicely with the MCC18 compiler. We use the C programming language to program the robot.

I suggest you go over to wikipedia and look up the definitions for IDE, C Programming Language, and Compiler.
