Mac OS running FRC-related software?
Recently I've come across some FRC-software training videos that show instructor working in Mac OS. (WPI RobotBuilder training videos for example)
This caught my attention as our school is a Mac school. Not only are our labs set up with macs but many of our team members use mac laptops for their school work.
It would open up some broader teaching opportunities for me as mentor if we could download and run all, or at least some, of the FRC-related software on Mac OS.
I assume some tools can be, such as Eclipse, but I'd appreciate a quick list of what can and can not as I've received conflicting info.
Two Questions:
Which FRC software tools related to Robot Control System/Programming can run natively on Mac OS?
What are the downsides of using Mac OS for those programs that do work?
