Were it up to me, I would turn down that opportunity.

MS Robotics Studio is obviously very powerful. It provides a lot of infrastructure that makes programming act a lot like putting together a network of independent computers. It could very well be the way of the future. For a High School robotics program in the present of the early 21st Century, however, I think it might be a bit much to expect people to embrace.

From the very first tutorial, on detecting a bumper switch contact: "The simplest way to bind the service partner to your hardware is to start an additional manifest which contains the service contract(s) for your hardware."

Yeah, good luck not scaring off potential student programmers with that one.
