And the user could program what ever buttons to do what ever they wanted, and if they had a joystick (or two) they could use that, so it would be like you are actually controlling that bot, instead of just kind of moving it around and having stuff get done automatically, thats not what FIRST is like at all.

By the way, i am starting the programming course tomorrow (the 7th) i think it goes for most of the summer... but i have no idea what language we are learning (it will obviously be c or a varient, whether its C, C++ or obj-C i have no idea, i hope C++ or obj-C)
i thought of that too, and i agree. thats y i changed my vote to the voodoo method. i think that will be the most efficient, easiest, and most vercitile method of control,
