Re: C++ vs. Java Performance
Adam Martin from Team 40 just gave a fantastic presentation at WPI about his experience in porting his 2009 C++ code to Java. I would defer to him on this decision, but I'll try to summarize his points briefly:

1) Porting the code was 90%+ copy paste find replace.
2) Even though he had a really awesome bot, he didn't hit performance bounds in either - he had sensor feedback on 9 of the 12 motors and several PID loops AND working vision tracking AND working vision assisted scoring in autonomous.
3) He claims to not be a programmer.


I don't have the link to his presentation, does anyone know where to find it?
