Can't agree more. The problem might not be Android studio, it might be the state of development and needing to understand a dozen tools before you can even click "run", but either way you could spend all year teaching the students how to use the tool and still never make anything. Ironically FRC tooling is easier to use than FTC. We ending up using the browser based blocky tools and it has been great. Students don't need anything installed on their computers and can just start building.
