Motor power doesn't come through any of the cRIO modules or breakouts. However, you shouldn't be taking any shortcuts. The battery power going to the Analog Breakout on the module in cRIO slot 1 is absolutely required by the robot rules. Without it, the system won't be able to monitor battery voltage and the undervoltage shutdown won't function.

When you have the battery voltage displayed properly on the Driver Station, we'll work on whatever else might be wrong.
