Re: How to do overall electronics for the robot?
I'll give you a start:
Figure 4-3 in Section 4 of the Manual shows the battery/main breaker/power distribution setup. (Exact locations depend on your robot layout, but you will want that to be close together--#6 wire is heavy.)
Now, Figure 4-3 illustrates <R37>, so it's reasonable to start there. <R38>, the next rule, specifies some of the layout--cRIO and radio are in parts A and B. Pay special attention to grounding--if the cRIO contacts the frame, it's a very bad thing. (See <R36>.)
Wiring rules are <R38> through <R44>. It's good to see what you can and can't do. Section 4.3.10, the control system rules, may also help provide insight.
Hopefully that gives you enough of a start that you can get the cRIO powered up to load code.
