I think it's important to realize that one of the long term goals of FIRST with respect to the control system is to diversify the applicable programming languages that can be used. When I talked with Eric Rassmusson about it, his opinion was that they should go for some way of swapping chips or some such that would allow different programming languages to be used. Basically, you'd replace a PBasic chip with a Java chip and you'd then be programming in Java. I believe the languages he was interested in were C, Java, and PBasic although if you have any other suggestions about it, I'm sure he'd be interested. This is something that will most definately not happen this year but in the next couple years is a distinct possiblity.
