Re: MSRS interface for the VEX controller
If you look closely at the MSRS docs you'll find that it is very apparent that MS intends for C# to be the language of choice for MSRS. Not that other languages can not be used but, there are many aspects of C# that compile better with the communications model. So if you don't like VPL, C# would be the preferred choice. I believe Visual Studio Express C# is available still for a free download. On 1 of the blogs a MS employee goes into detail why they prefer users not to use C++ for development.
I've Looked at MSRS and I'm beginning to see some of the advantages to the model they've cHoosen. I believe now that MSRS could fit in with Vex and the First FRC with some hardware mods.
