Re: Teams who have used or plan to use python for Robot Code
We tried out python at both our off-season competitions after using java in our 2014 season. We had no issues with it and due to a number of our rookies having prior python experience we will probably use it in the upcoming season. While I'm not the programmer I usually end up adjusting a few variables and being able to program the robot with just a ssh client was a really useful feature.

While their are some disadvantages to using it, notably in support and reliability keeping our programmers happy and working quickly especially when we only have 1 or 2 is a fair trade-off for us.
