Re: Crio

The control system that was used in FRC prior to the CompactRio was reasonably comparable to an Arduino, as it too was an 8-bit microcontroller. You can do a lot with that. If you just want to prototype a mechanical system, really any microcontroller can handle it processing-wise as long as it has inputs and outputs that can be made to work with your speed controllers, etc. If you want to prototype control systems, that is a bit more complicated depending on what you want to do.
