Python worked (and is still working) great for us. Really nice to work with. The whole misspelling thing is kind of annoying, but easy to fix. No problems at all during matches or inspection. Probably the biggest bonus was how fast it was to code, not just at the lab during build, but also on the field. I'm both the programming captain and driver this year, and right before our first match, I realized I had forgotten to put in a "no autonomous" setting. While in queing, I tethered to the programming laptop and set the motors to zero. If I had had to wait for WindRiver to start up, then compile the new code, it wouldn't have made it to the robot. Later, in LA, all three robots of our alliance had autonomous, but we were the only ones with fork detection. We had never used it on the field before, and on the first match the robot aligned fine, but didn't quite release the tube. After the match, I quickly increased the telescope drop while scoring, and it worked great after, including a couple 3 tube autos with our alliance.
