[Phys-L] programming languages & controllers



Hello.
For the past 6 years or so I have been trying to use a variety of controllers in a general physics class along with controllers & motors / sensors and so on. My district is now investigating common languages and controllers that can be used at multiple grade levels.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a language that might be useable at the h.s. level? We are currently using RobotC. We are thinking about switching to something that is more scaleable. LabVIEW might be a candidate since the Lego NXTs are programmed in a version of labVIEW.
We are also wondering about hardware. I've used Arduino (very little), Lego NXT (some), and VEX Robotics (some).
Does anyone have a favorite programming lanuage and or hardware set?

Thanks for your help.
Paul.
