I have to agree with FotoPlasma

Although for many of you advanced programmers pbasic is rediculously simple to use, for someone with no programming experience its the perfect language. I had absolutely no experience programming before I started, I had never even looked at a program in code form prior to this. But I decided I wanted to program and as simple as the task may seem, it was quite an accomplishment for me to create my own code and learn how to use this simple language. In fact after 3 years of robotics, i'm still excited when I learn new commands or am able to improve my old codes. Had the program been in a different language I probably would have decided I didn't have the time to learn the language, nor the money or books to do so. I ask that people concider this, and that every year there are new teams who undoubtebly face the same problem, before jumping to a decision to make the programing language "better".
I would however support a new and 'improved' language if and ONLY if teams could still use the current language and commands. That way they could take the time to learn the new language without loosing time from not being able to program it.
