Re: Teaching "C" to 2006 students??
I would welcome the idea, considering some teams do not have resources with knowledge of C. I love the idea of some sort of autonomy during the competition, but I think it has created a programming gap among teams. Any tool that can help bridge that gap will be well received by anyone.

My dream is to see a tool similar to the Lego Mind storms RCX, where the students create a basic program using a flow chart like layout and have the code generated in the background. Then the student can look at the code and get an idea on how it all fits together.
