If you haven't before, you should read the history on the C language; it's pretty interesting given its tight connection to the history of Unix.
It turns out there is a programming language called A [2], but it has no relation to C given that it's descended from functional languages. C was descended from B, but there was no A as B was created as a minimal version of one called BCPL [1].
tl;dr if you program in your robot in A, I will be suitably impressed

It wasn't about the ROBOT, or about whether I was male or female, it was about getting to compete in something that was just SO cool. - BandChick [more]
