It should be possible to program the RC in a different language, like PIC assembler (because it's the job of the compiler to write a .hex file, which contains generic PIC instructions, rather than C code or some other language). However, there's absolutely no support for this, and it would be a miracle if someone got a re-coded version of the firmware to actually work with itself, much less the field controllers.
