I'll just offer my 2 cents about easy C. I do not mean to bash it, because I understand that many teams use it, and it is a great tool.

If it is possible to avoid using it, i recommend that you do. It is difficult to program some of the more complicated functions in it. In the end, it would most likely take me more time to program the whole robot in Easy-C than it would for me to program it in C.

C is a very powerful language, and it can be manipulated such that you can do almost anything and everything with it.

However, if no one on your team already knows C, and none of them are motivated to learn C (which is rather boring, because C/C++ are heavily syntax based), using Easy-C to program your robot would be a lifesaver.

Just my 2 cents.
