With that said, I can tell you that we are using the code ourselves and posting new versions whenever it changes. I would consider it pretty unprofessional to be having a version of the library that we were using on Team 190 that wasn't available to everyone.

The other is that it is simply a different style of programming then the default code supplied by IFI. If you are more comfortable with the current code, then by all means, keep using it. We found it much easier to teach students programming using WPILib for 2 week intro to robotics courses.

Is that curriculum available at a website? I'd love to see it.
