Just based on a previous conversation with a FIRST staff member, I don't think IFI will settle for "only" a 6.5x increase in speed.

I agree that C++ is not a likely choice. In my mind, it will either be C (the most popular microcontroller language) or java (the current most popular teaching language). Considering that AP CS is switching from C++ to Java this year only makes me think that they are less likely to use C++.
