I think the limitations of PBasic inspire a certain sense of creativity in the programming, and is easy enough for rookie teams and new members to pick up and use right away.
If we were allowed to use stuff like that and have a 3+ghz processor, I could just see students setting up LAN parties in the pits and playing each other over the wireless network through the robot. Lol.
