As an experienced programmer, I think that while that is a good idea, too much is dependant on the actual robot to really give new programmers a decent idea- the PWMSs are different for different robots, I don't think they should have to modify the alaiases file, and using constants for the wheel PWMS would mean that they had their drive in one specified meathod of coding.

In order for this to really work, it would have to have detailed robot input output values, convert the C to assembley, and simulate that.

I don't think the simple thing you have going is a great idea for a generalization, as I think the code should shape the ideas of the programmer, and not the ideas shaping to the specific way you have your simluator working...

I do think the project has potential if it's being designed for a specifc robot, you integrate the C compiler (not hard, it runhs at command line), and then use write a disassembly/simulator program which passes data to a simulator...
