Re: Any reason I can't use Visual Studio?
First off, Welcome to FIRST and Chief Delphi. I hope you guys have fun this year.
The reason Wind River is given to teams instead of another IDE such as Visual Studio for FRC use is due to the fact of the downloader. You are going to need to use Wind River to download your code, and it has some very good examples built into the WPI Lib, which is what we use to code FRC Robots in C++.
You can, in theory, do your code development in another IDE and copy and paste the code into Wind River when you need to download (I use this method to move code between my home PC and one of our 2 development laptops).
Instructions for downloading code to the robot via the Wind River IDE is part of the Getting Started with the 2012 Control System PDF.
