The competition gives us six weeks to build the robot, before we have one or two three day competitions. Apart from possibly attending non-official off-season competitions, that is the only time we would use the code before the next years competition, which is completely different, and for which we are required to right entirely new code[1]. Once we got a hack working, we ran with it and rarely tried to clean up. In this case, we didn't bother trying a different JVM. [1] Unless the code is open source (as ours was), in which case we were explicitly allowed to use it.
