There is a type of programming called lucky logic, its used with fisher technics and is a good starting programming tool, it lets you drag and drop pics of operations, it helps teach you what order things need to be done in...

On another note, wouldn't it be cool if instead of using the simple 900MHz RF RCs, we could choose our own "RC" CPU and our own preferred programming language as long as it complies with the FIRST standards. You know, like instead of low band RF, they use WiFi or Bluetooth or some other different RF type. If they allowed us that much freedom, we wouldn't even have to bother with the whole, "i hope they add/remove this..." thing.

The problem with this is that the frequency can be interrupted then by other people, they use the current system so they have control over the robots for if a problem arose, they can be shut down by the officials field side. Also they have it set up so you will not interrupt another robot in another places/on another field... Though it would be nice if we could pick our own language...
