Make the member variables immutable with the 'final' keyword and use the variables directly. Then it's fine from a pragmatic perspective. Grumpy people will argue about style, but whatever. I mean, it's not as bad as javascript, where anything can change anything, and you can pass a variable in where a functor should be and nothing stops you until it blows up 10 calls into the stack...
Good call on making them final Jesse.

I think this process will take one confusing step out of the equation for new programmers and teams without programming support and hopefully give them the ability to quickly get a robot up and running.
