This isn't necassarily true. The IDE that you are using probably came with the PLC that your team has on the robot so whatever language it uses would be optimized for that specific set of hardware. It might be possible for you to write your own drivers in C\C++ for this robot but how well they perform is anyones guess.

Do you know what model of PLC you are using?
