We are a team of six members so it's hard to fund raise $750 for a cRIO

An arduino does work the same way but the cRIO is meant for industrial. They both are meant to get information from sensors and control things like motors or servos. The cRIO is meant for industrial level robots like in a factory if I am correct. The arduino is more meant for small projects that you could do at home. An arduino itself is a programmable circuit board that you could use for robots. A guy made a robot using an Arduino that controls 3 servos to keep a ball from rolling off a platform
