C#? Who? What? When? Where? Why?

I'm quite happy that there are 33 teams using Python. I would have guessed ~15 when the season started.

From ChiefDelphi, I thought there would be more as well.

Proud to be part of the 1%. All the judges and teams we talked to were very surprised and interested to learn that we used a unique language for programming. I'd love to see it take off more.

We actually forget to even mention that we use Python to the judges or anyone at North Star. This was our second year using it and I guess we just were used to using the language with little to no problems so it wasn't exactly on our minds at competition(fantastic job virtuald!).

I created the port last summer as a personal project to get better at coding and building an end to end system. Plus it got me a good look into the wpilib system. It was fun, and I personally like the language much more then java. My own team didn't use it as they wanted to stay with Java, but I did talk with the team that did, and the only problems I heard about were with the dashboard, and I'm looking into that now.

As for the where, either check my Sig, or the post above.
