I personally do not think threading is necessary at this point. If at any point it were necessary, then i would say write your own. We implemented a few processes that ran in the background, but i would hardly call it threading.
I'm considering it. Or at least a psuedo-threading that would appear to the "threads" as either a pre-empitive or cooperative threading environment. I know that the RC has enough power to handle the threads. The RCX from LEGo Mindstorm uses a chip with similar specs and that handles threading fine. I was just curious on people's opinions.
