Sounds like the HL2 FIRST mod will be a veritable playground of fun! Perfect for testing of mechanisms and ideas during build phases. I can see this effort being a great way to bring others in the gaming community to see the fun of FIRST.

Yes, that was my feeling on the concept as well.
As far as customization goes (in addition to adding other own robots), one could also make their own maps to recreate different venues and make the experience more realistic. The map I'm making is just a simple, generic kind of stadium (for now anyways), but you could easily expand upon that and add things like moving lights, pit areas, and stuff like that. I should also point out that I plan on using some of the sound effects from FIRST matches (music, buzzers, bells, crowd cheering, ect.), maybe even throw in some announcer statements too.

Garry's Mod uses a modified version of LUA code, it is written using a C style, so generally it is very similar to C, though a bit more strait forward.
