To SVN or not to SVN?

Hello all,

One of the things that I'm trying to decide about programming this year is whether or not our team is going to use subversion. We're probably talking about 2-3 programmers. In previous years, we haven't used it--but last year the code got nigh-impossible to manage(we had like 7 or 8 projects with names like "Lario Kario final PID") and one situation where someone accidentally downloaded the code for a different robot at a practice day(making one of the chains fall off)

Anyway, I was wondering what experiences people here have had with subversion. None of us has actually used it before--is it difficult to learn? And how much value would it be to a team of this size?
