Other than sheer simplicity, i suppose..

Yes. Somehow, the guys at NREC have figured out how to update the code on the controller without doing a full download. As such, you can make small adjustments to your code and download them to the robot for testing in just a couple of seconds, much faster than the traditional IFI Loader method. We haven't started our software development yet, but when we do, we will be using ROBOTC for that reason alone.
