Ohh... Derp. I just remember reading that the arduino language was something "based on Wiring", but digging a tad deeper I see where it says that it's implemented in C/C++. I suppose this just further proves that I don't really 'know' C++, I just dabble in so many languages that I retain enough knowledge to learn any language very quickly, but usually only for a specific purpose / project.

I didn't mean to say that it uses a different library (well, at least I think I didn't) but I suppose it does. But I think it should still be useful in teaching some of the basics of programming the robot, at least in terms of how sensors and other hardware can be interacted with through programming.
