The fine folks at the Robotics Academy have released a new version of ROBOTC for the Cortex and PIC. 

There are quite a number of changes:

• Updated new Master Firmware for VEX Cortex
• Fixed “Cannot find firmware file” download error.
• Additional Integrity Checks on Firmware Downloading
• & qualifiers are now accepted on structure elements.
• Improved robustness for communicating with Cortex over USB A-A cable.
• Sensor Types are now cleared when a new program is run – Prevents sensor port allocation issues.
• Added support for new “Natural Language” platform feature.

There are loads of other easy to use functions, too for tasks such as:

• Line following;
• Setting a motor speed or making it rotate for a number of degrees;
• Waiting for the light sensor to reach a certain value:
