Re: What is Easy C good for?
Our students used the VEX program in the fall the learn about robotics, mechanisms, and specifically, EasyC programming. The EasyC software allows you to write your code using drag-and-drop type commands, similar to what the students learned way back during LEGO League. One of the great things about EasyC is that it comes preloaded with modules for the camera, gear tooth sensors, wheel encoders, and a slew of other sensors. Also, you're able to use the same interface for both FVC and FRC. The same program can even be used to run both robots, as EasyC is able to switch back and forth between the two.

If you can't find a use for EasyC, then you probably aren't using it correctly, or to it's full potential. If you have more questions about it, ask anyone from Team 40. They have a little more insight into the software, seeing as how they wrote it...
