Re: FRC FPGA usage

I believe it makes a lot of sense to consider the FPGA the equivalent of the "master" processor of the old IFI system, and to keep it completely off limits for team use. It helps make the cRIO failsafe.

Right now, the only reason I would entertain for opening it up would be to let teams use presently unsupported cRIO modules.
