Any suggestions for this particular class of people? (Besides not letting them touch the robot until I'm sure that they're could won't segfault.)
Our school has the same curriculum. I go to the teacher for help sometimes. I guess dealing with PIC C is one of our challenges.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
