(C++ was originally described as "C++: Object Oriented C".)

I believe the C used in the Innovation FIRST chips that we run our robots with is a simplified version of the language, specifically suited for said chips.

Just making sure there is no confusion... C was not designed for operating robots, however a compiler was released for FIRST allows us to use the C language to operate robots.

Almost. C with an object-oriented extension is ObjectiveC. ObjC is what NeXTStep and Mac OS X use as the default programming language. C++ is rather a completely rewritten programming language that originates from C. I still like Java

Anyway, if you want specific information on using C with the standard FIRST controller, check out: http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRST...umentation.htm

Best of Luck!
