Spare cRIO

[Team2191]

We were testing our robot's final code today and after being jumpy and restarting itself after bumps, our cRIO died. We've tested the power going into the cRIO and that returned 24 volts, but no status lights, power lights, or anything else turn on, except for the slots which recieve power independent from the cRIO.

We are wondering if any team has a spare cRIO that could lend/give to us. Without one, as everyone probably knows, we are finished. We don't have the money to purchase a new one. Any help we could possibly get at this point would be GREATLY appreciated.

Have you contacted National Instruments? http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=925720&postcount=5

Call NI. This happened to ours as well Sunday night. We called them and they said we would have it Tuesday. We just need to send them ours in the self addressed Fed Ex package that they supply. They were wonderful and very easy to work with.

On another note, I think this game is going to be tough on robots. If you don't have everything wither nylocked or loctited do it quick. Everything is shaking loose when robots go over the bumps. Our team and another team did a little scrimmage and afterwards we picked up a lot of nuts.:eek: 1 kid picked up 10 and there were a couple kids out there picking them up. Good luck!!
