FIRST is For Inspiration, of course, but I believe that most of the work on a robot should be by students, and that includes programming. I know that I couldn't program to the level you are talking about right now; people go to college and spend their careers developing these tools and systems. Certainly C was the right move, but this would be far too much.
Yup, this probably does need to move in stages but I think it would be nice to give the programmers a bigger role in the team. Really at this point all you need is one guy and an hour or so to write all the basic code for the bot. Any more advanced stuff will take another couple of hours. It would be nice to have a team of programmers instead working around the clock like the rest of the team, trying to figure things out.

EDIT: Perhaps we're looking at something in the long run. Maybe in 20 years, FIRST bots will be AI driven? Besides, this just adds to the coolness factor.
