If Visual Studio .Net is like previous Visual Studio products (which it is if memory serves me) it includes a complete development enviroment, with compilers for many languages (C, C++, C# (the new .NET language), and Visual Basic) as well as debuggers and some neat stuff like Sourcesafe which allows large groups to work on the same codebase. Theres some other stuff in there as well. Overall it's a great tool for programming for the windows enviroment in general. They way it analyzes your code as you type it and makes it easy to refer to member functions is pretty neat. As for relevance to the robotics competition, I can't really see much. The only thing you would need it for would be if you wanted to make a dashboard program or something along those lines. I think Microsoft is pretty liberal about giving away copies of it, many of the programming competitions and such I've been to have given it away. Getting the programmers of tommorow used to developing on your platform can't go wrong.
