Sorry. I read that incorrectly.
The BOE-Bots are programmed in PBASIC, and are EXTREMELY similar to <=2003 FRC controllers. If your students are bright, (8th grade, maybe some smart 7th graders), they should be able to figure it out. It's fairly simple, and can be taught quickly (more quickly than say, C).
So I'd say that as long as you have someone experienced, or someone that will become very easily familiar with the product teaching the class, and your students are selected (definatley not for the left of the bell curve), that it would be very feasible to run this program in 8th grade, maybe with some 7th grade students.
