Word to Tom Schindler.

If you're so against PBASIC, I'd like to see you write all of your robot code in PIC assembly... PBASIC may be unnecessarilly uncool, but I don't think it's really supposed to be easy. If it were easy, everyone would do it.

The way I see it, PBASIC's faults are just another design challenge. We can't use certain things/materials/mechanisms on the robot, physically, for no other reason but to challenge us to do more with less, I believe. The same goes for the price limit, limits on the use/amount of pneumatics, etc.

I'm not too coherent right now, but I think I'm making myself clear.

We've all had our little frustrating times with PBASIC, but I think it's a good thing...
