I dont use easyC because Im not an experienced coder(3rd year CS/EE student) I use easy C because I want it done now, and not 2 days from now. yes I could deal with all the stress of getting gyro bias or messing with kevins camera code(btw with EasyC you could plug your servos in to the camera board and not have to run 2 more wires to the RC), then trying to get the gyro code and the camera code and the gear tooth sensor code working together. Or I can just drop in a camera block, a gyro block and a geartooth block, and have it all up and running in 5 min.

the real thing here is easyC is different than what youve been doing before. but if you give it half a chance(on its own terms, that means not wishing it had this or that, but accepting it for what it does have ) youll find that its not only good its GREAT!
Why should I meet with easyC on ITS terms...my coding package has to be on MY terms. You remind me of one of those ppl who has a bowling ball in the entrance to their room and would rather jump over it every single day then move it. You can give me a bad rep on that...I don't particularly care...but you don't even sound like you are the team programmer (perhaps the backup?) and I GUARANTEE that when something goes wrong or your team asks you to do something off the beaten path, you will be placing a loudspeaker annoncement asking for MPLAB help. Yeah, you couldn't beat me with MPLAB on even a medium task...and I am only in CS I !!!
