If they want any kind of serious control system, they have to switch to a different controller. Frankly from a programming stand point, FIRST is not a control system competition in anyway. If they intend to keep autonomous mode, and if they want teams to develop better AI, they would HAVE to switch to a better controller. Something that uses a non-obselete language would be nice. PBasic is a mix of assembly and basic. To me it looks like they got the worst of both worlds. Only thing missing is line numbering...
But back to the point, it would be nice to have C, or Java even.
