Is there really no noticeable performance hit?

4) How does the Java vision API compare to the C++ one? Is there a large speed difference?
5) After having beta tested in java, will your team use it this year?
6) When do you think everything will be released for us non-beta-testers?
Thanks again!

I would argue that an empty loop hardly makes for a meaningful speed test. But yes - perfectly written Java will almost always lose in a performance test against perfectly written C++. But to Java's credit, it is often easier to write good Java than it is to write good C++, which can tip the scales back in Java's favor. Regardless, FIRST robots really don't tend to do anything all that computationally complicated.
4) None at all as far as I can tell. It's the same code running underneath it all.
5) Definitely - it is much more accessible to our students than C++.
6) Not sure. "Soon" seems to be the general consensus. Definitely in advance of build season.
