At how many schools is AP Comp. Science an issue though? I know in our district only half of our schools even teach that class, and they didn't actually use Java until 2 years ago (prior to that it was still C). AP Comp. Science is a 3rd year programming class, meaning at least in our district you must take two other programming classes (both with different languages) before you can take it.

I could see it maybe good in a few particular cases, but overall I think most schools have their programming curriculum laid out in such a way that this wouldn't have much of an effect.

Not that Java can't be used for robot programming, that's why Parallax developed the Javelin chip.
