Take what they give you, study it, and extend it. Its great to want to do it yourself, but while you're coding and testing your math library in week three you could be refining some mind blowing autonomous code.

I for one totally agree with the above statments.
In the REAL WORLD, I program servos and industrial robots everyday. Every vendor now a days is coming out with their own scripting or I call it "Mnemonics". It totally follows the path of what the industrial automation theme is leaning toward. Because of my job, time is critical to complete a task within a required time. Design time is critical to make a profit on a job. The easier it is to program the servo or industrial robot, the more money I make for the company I work for and the less stress on me. There is nothing wrong with a "CAN" package software in my opinion. It what you do with it.
