Learn C++ or Labview in a Summer?

I would suggest learning both as most have said. I think that mastering the current control system would also be a good idea as it gives you programming experience and a platform for prototyping. Also, I believe most code would be able to be ported without too much trouble. You could figure out how to do autonomous modes, which could definitely be useful in the future.

I am in a similar boat to you. Our only programmer is graduating this year. Over the past couple months, I have become familiar with the control system, mecanum programming, and teleoperated code. Now I just have to figure out how to use encoders and sonars to guide the robot.
