guys, relax :-)
We have a pretty darned cool new system in the works. A lot of my fears have been laid to rest. programing will come in time. They have already said that we will be able to use C/C++ to program. I have no doubt that the FRC community will be get to work and figure out a fantastic library of code for everyone to use within one year of release. I know some of the older, more established teams are worried about losing ground to younger team. Isn't a more even playing field, no matter how short lived it is, a good thing?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
