I wanted to point out that our team uses vision processing and many many sensors, including PID-tuned motors with LabVIEW. Java is not superior in that.

Also, I will support the idea that if you learn any programming language better, it will become more and more versatile for you. I suggest sticking with LabVIEW and trying to learn how to do new things in it. Don't just limit yourself to strictly robotics applications. Try creating a program in LV as a stand alone project without the robot. It will certainly help you learn the language better.
