How much different is ROBOTC from C? Would it help me to learn ROBOTC? I'm just curious. My team is doing alot of our programming in Eclipse.

Re: Free ROBOTC for all 2008 FIRST Robotics Teams!

ROBOTC hides alot of the configuration code and takes care of sensor counters and calibration behind the scene... making it a much easier entry point into C programming.

I'd say try it out and let me know if you run into any issues. Check out some of the sample programs available at: http://robotc.net/ifi/frc/support.htm
