Re: Switching a Programming Language
If you're looking to switch programming languages, the best advice I can give you is to re-program your entire robot in the new language during the off-season.

Having to ramp up on a new language's foibles while the Electrical/Mechanical teams need things tested _right away_ will lead to a lot of stress and complication. Your team will be more competitive if you enter the season forearmed with the power to program a robot in your chosen language.
