Depending on the cost of a spare cRIO (hopefully we'll get that info soon), you might want to consider dueling software teams - one with C/C++ and one with LabVIEW.

Another option to consider is a LabVIEW-based Dashboard app and C/C++ robot programming. There's definitely room for both.

You may even be able to use C code within LabVIEW and have high-level "systems engineers" coding in LabVIEW and "low-level software engineers" coding in C. However, I'm not sure whether the FRC version of LabVIEW will provide Code Interface Nodes or similar for integration with C code.

Sounds like you've got a big team! Keeping everyone "happy" might be a bigger challenge than the actual game. Good Luck and Have Fun!
