Which language should we use to program our FRC Robot? Why?

[darkgiant]

Hello!

I am currently running a rookie team right now, and am somewhat familiar with LabView (last time I actually used it FRC related was three years ago!) so I don't have a great memory on the fundamentals to using it. As of right now, we are making our 'bot pretty simple, 6 wheel drive with shooter using CIM motors. Because of this, I was wondering, which programming language should we use to have our Robot's drivetrain just move? Should we follow the path of LabView? C++? or Java? I may be asking this question sort of late, but I understand that there are some sort of tutorials on how to make this all happen. My team is hoping to have a robot moving by the end of this weekend (as we mounted all of our parts tonight!). Anyways, which language should we program our robot in, that would be less time consuming, and easier for noobs?


Thanks!
