Greetings Teams:
In the 2010 season, FRC teams will have the option of programming their robot in Java. The addition of Java as a programming language option is the culmination of work by Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and researchers from the Sun SPOT project at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. To learn more as you wait for the 2010 season to begin visit [

If you are planning to hold an off season event or host a demonstration of your robot over the summer, you might want some extra game pieces. Used orbit balls (the ones that survived championship) are available for purchase starting today here [
