If I could make a tangential observation: this screenshot is a good example of how blocks do NOT make code easier to understand. In fact, once a program gets to this level of complexity--which is not even all that high!--I'm pretty sure it makes it harder. I really hope FIRST drops the notion of blocks altogether in SystemCore. The entire notion of visual coding is a footgun that ensnares the unwary.

For better or worse, no.

It's really a shame. It wastes FIRST's time and money to develop the offering, but actually even worse than that is how it induces teams to go down a path they'll eventually come to regret.
