Considering that my team as well as a few others were able to brown out the cRIO when under heavy load (6+ CIMs + RS775s near stall at once) at various points this year, I certainly intend on using the 24V regulated supply if it is still allowed. You could probably run on an unregulated 12V supply for a benchtop test, but I wouldn't trust it when traction wheels meet carpet.
