Where should I go/send my teams driver station. Like many of the other teams that have dealt with our driver stations being blown up by static I would like to know where I need to send it or who I need to get in contact with to get a replacement.

Andymark is the retailer for the "blue" parts. If you need another cRIO, you'll have to talk to NI about that I believe.

This late in the season you may want to avoid the middle men and contact:

Chris Jennings
Engineering Project Manager FRC
cjennings(AT)usfirst.org // @ sign replaced to avoid spam

Save yourself even more time by telling him your team number and describing exactly the symptoms and the status of the display and lights.

The unfortunately according to FIRST driver stations are not cover under warranty for static. You have to call the MFG and they can fix it for you for $$$.

Or for about $3.00+ shipping you acn replace the one small component that was damaged if all you are having problems with is the eithernet ports. Search here on CD for static and the driver station and the part# will come up.

You will probably need at least two of them as you need one per Ethernet port.
