Re: FR-C# -- Microsoft C# for the roboRio... ANY interest?
This is a very cool exercise and instructive for those involved. The skills of elite student programmers never ceases to amaze! But FRC-wide I'm not sure introducing another language is worth it. C/C++ and Java are still the most popular languages in industry and LabView comes from a big FIRST sponsor. Learning C/C++ and/or Java/JS will help the bulk of FRC programmers at the university and professional level more than C#, at least today.
