Because that is quite expensive, where as many teams have IFI controllers sitting around. The boot time is also near instant, which is great for a demo bot. Even better, if you have a EDU-RC (the 2004 Mini RC), you can use a standard RC vehicle controller. A small, handheld controller is awesome for a demo bot (and far cheaper/more reliable than a smartphone running a DS emulator).
I would share our code, but it's only compatible with the EDU-RC and is specialized for our exact setup. I would recommend getting the default code and manual for the controller you have here:

PS: IIRC, the IFI controllers never supported C++ (just C [and PBASIC for pre-2004])
