Re: How important is Linux?
I'm an Assembly/C guy... i feel like you have enough problems debugging your own code let alone the 10's or 100's of people's code you add in to the mix with an RTOS...

Plus, the FIRST controller as it sits doesn't have enough MIPS and memory to run much of an RTOS along with running the user's tasks at the same time... it's more than enough for Assembly/C/EasyC people to run wild but I'm not sure about a full blown RTOS...

Just my 0.81 Rupees...
