Not to mention the added confusion of writing robot code that is event-driven, sort of, by way of the Iterative or Command based patterns.

Our software students wanted to work together on a little video game, and some of them have also worked on our vision code and Android scouting app, and there will probably be other small projects to come. It's good to get used to the idea that different projects can be very different from each other, but have similar underlying fundamentals.
