I've detected software that intrigues me... Parallax and RobotC ???

Lately, I've been dabbling with RobotC, which is a cross-platformish sorta software compatible with Lego Mindstorms, Arduino, Vex, etc. and now since the Propeller is taking off with a C oriented language of its own, and because I've seen hints and smatterings of RobotC/Parallax collusion here and there, I was wondering if there might be any motions toward having Propeller-based products (Propeller BOE-bots, or whatever) jumping into this RobotC thing. For example, the RobotC people have their "Robot Virtual Worlds" thing going on, and it's kinda nice to play with. So I was wondering if maybe Parallax had any intentions of perhaps working with the RobotC people and getting one of their bots into the "Robot Virtual Worlds"???

    Robomatter, Inc. is a for-profit company, like Parallax Inc., that works in the education market.

    Wouldn't they technically be competitors?

    Robomatter sells a variety of things, VEX, NXT, etc. I don't see any theoretical reason why they couldn't sell Parallax hardware bundles and incorporate, for example, Propeller BOE-bots into their RobotC software and Robot Virtual Worlds. They might be competitors but they might also be capable of resonating with one another until they monetarily evaporate into ecstasy. That's what I was wondering about.
