Which brings up a good point... if the software for windows in terms of CVS sucks, perhaps you might want to run Linux...

The real question might be how much it sucks. And how much it sucks to get everything working for Linux (and then explain to the new students interested in programming how to use it). I re-read the thread about using linux, and it seemed to trail off at the point of porting the IFI loader. Any news on that? Anyone tried using purely linux to work on the EduBot and had any success?

but how hard is it to use cvs

Not very hard at all. There aren't that many commands you need to use regularly (and there's
a nice guide here).

and is it really worth the trouble for just 4 programmers, when they could each be assigned their own module to write, then just stick it all together

Well, the main strength of CVS is that if those areas overlap, when it comes time to "stick it all together" it gives you a helping hand. But also, another main strength is that it makes it very easy to, say, roll back to the last working version (but then again, things never break at competition!) Whether or not it's worth it depends on you, but I would say it wouldn't be a bad thing to look into.
