Writing the code should be easy, I might write my own base code and base it off the default so I can tweak the hell of out of it. Ive been doing C/C++ for years. Once we opened the kit today and went through all the parts it came with MSVS .net, jw why would we need that since its an ia32(maybe x86_64?) compiler? Just for the IDE? Anyway im probably going to code on my thinkpad since our school computers tend to uhhh never work espcially when you need it and the adminitrators will fix it "when they get to it."

hehe I know that feeling. Now the reason they give you MSVS.net is so you can program other things i assume. Its not used for the robot in any way shape or form. You use MPLab to program the robot. Its a nice IDE.
