Re: Stupid question that should be easy to answer...
Well, the robots have never been programmed in either Visual Basic or C++.
In the past, the robots were programmed in PBASIC, which is a dialect of BASIC that only runs on Basic Stamp microprocessors, which were what controlled the robot until last year.
Last year, and presumably this year, the robots are programmed in C for a Microchip PIC processor.
Even if your programmer knew Visual Basic, PBASIC is quite a bit different. C++ and C are quite a bit closer, but there is still a huge difference between programming a full computer, and an embedded control system.
You should suggest that they register on chiefdelphi because I'm sure there will be many more questions.
