It's in C++...I shall update my original post. Also I posted about the limit-switch problem here.
One of the best memories from this build season was running around on ship night [bag-and-tag night actually], writing code for autonomous while hardware wanted to work on the robot too, meantime our programming laptop died and we had to shuffle the robot back and forth from the shop to our high-ceiling testing area....then getting the line-following code to work. I shrieked with joy [and caffeine] and promptly laid down another duct tape line for the robot to follow....who knew that you can get cuts from duct tape?

Haha, sounds awesome. My attempts at line following were with a chassis of last years bot on a tiled hallway and the little markings all over them ended up messing up the line sensors so much that it was impossible to write reliable code.
I had just seen that thread in the real time forum thing, and i immediately thought to myself "its C++ :/". I program in java, so i may not be able to find it if its a language specific problem.
and for our first regional, my mom needed the laptop i use to program for a conference she went to because her mac cant make databases, so i was stuck programming on the dinky driver station computer >.< the multi purpose netbook thing. still managed to get many things working though
