FIRST is pretty lenient with the programming rules. You can choose between Labview, C++ (Winriver), or Java (Netbeans). When programming, you must make sure to implement watchdog, which is a function that automatically shuts down the robot to prevent safety hazards if it isn't "fed" within a certain amount of time. Of course, you also must be sure your code doesn't allow control while disabled or autonomous, of course.

I'm sure there's other rules, but those are the big ones.
