Go to Post Winning, the objective, the thing you can point to and say "See that? We want to do that. What can we do to make our program better, to improve our chances at that?" is what has grown FIRST from 28 teams in a high school gym to where it is today. - Joe G. [more]

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.
Dang. I go to a private school so its a difrent situation. But I took Intro to Com. Sci. as a freshman. We have 10 people in the class which wasnt to bad for a high school with 110 people. I was going to take the AP as a sophmore then. Howver due to people leaving the school and some people not wanting to take the class we only had 3 people so they didnt teach it. They were supposed to teach the intro class that year so that the folowing year we would have two grades worth of people to take the AP. They didnt teach the intro so here I am, junior with no AP Com. Sci., so the 3 of us decided to take it as an independant study (basucally a free period with no teacher) and we learn it on our own and will take the AP at the end of the year.

woo this was a overyly long post.
