We would like to occasionally demo our 2013 robot offsite. It is much smaller and easier to transport than other years robots. It has code on it that works. However, I cannot find any still valid link to the 2013 driver station software. The students say the Roborio driverstation will not work with 2013 Crio. If you know otherwise let me know.

Does anyone have a copy of the driver station install for 2013 ? Is there anything else that needs to be installed on the driver station laptop. NI says the NI Utilities are for formatting the crio which we don't need and the wpilib is for software development which we don't need.

We can't afford to spend the about C$1000 (after taxes, shipping etc) to replace all the crio stuff with roborio for an occasional demo.

Some versions of the RoboRIO Driver Station can control cRIO robots. The version released at last season's kickoff can't, but the mandatory update released later in the season (version 09021500) can. Just change the FMS protocol to '14 DS and FMS.

Otherwise, the 2014 Driver Station (which can control 2013 image robots) is available here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/message/89025#89025
