Please take me off the email list since I can’t find a team for my son (Chris) to join. I do not want you to waist your time continually send me emails.

There were a couple of variations, such as whether third-party libraries were allowed, but overall, the outcome was that there was no competitive advantage of one programming language over another.  So, I do expect that most programming languages will be allowed for the upcoming Challenge, with few restrictions.  (Your team still won't be allowed to use remote control during a match!)

That will give team members who like programming some insight into how the tools that you use can change how you approach different programming challenges.
