Re: "Java, Sun SPOT and the FIRST Robotics Competition"

I also hope that they release it before fall like their website says. Or at least release it in beta stages (they obviously have somewhat of an alpha product as they had a robot running on Java at CMP).

It was reasonable for NI and WPI/WindRiver to release their programs and languages in the fall because nobody had the cRIO until then. But now that teams have a cRIO, they can beta and submit patches or feedback during practice in the summer.
