I don't want to totally derail this thread so I will be concise.
FIRST should use a simple AVR microcontroller with a basic library for abstraction. NO OS ON THE ROBOT. NO PRECOMPILED LIBRARY. NO MULTIPLE UPDATES IN A SINGLE WEEK. Keep it simple stupid. Despite all of FIRSTS efforts - almost no teams use vision tracking this year. There is no reason for teams needing a $1000 subsidized cRIO. C is better for students to learn than Labview.
Back on topic - SO why couldn't Israeli teams test their code?
