Well, I wouldn't consider C++ simplier. I would rank level of difficulty from C to C++ to Java being the easiest. C'mon to go to the next pointer in java isn't it like list.nextPtr();. Also, you might not realize how much actual support parallax has for the javelin stamp, in documentation, function lists with examples and descriptions parsed nicely, and several examples. It's actually pretty nice. It all depends how the code is stored and processed, they could compile the java code or not. I haven't read up enough on the javelin stamp to tell you.

There is also a lot of documentation on the BASIC stamp and PBASIC language.

Basically, they seem to look exactly like the field control components from 2003 (from the outside at least). They do support autonomous mode and they do support previous year's controllers. This may mean that there are only superficial changes to them. If anyone's really interested I may take some pictures of them and post them. You really can't tell much from just looking at it however.

I'd love to see some pictures of the controllers.
