You've got plenty of nearby teams to talk to. I would be very surprised if none of them had an 8-slot cRIO they could let you borrow.

What should I do? Should i buy a Vex controller? Should I try to buy or borrow a cRIO FRC1? Should I just roll my own controller?
Thinking just slightly outside the box, how about partnering with a Beta Test team? That way you could buy a new 4-slot cRIO and use it. If my understanding of geography is not faulty, the Killer Bees aren't far from you at all.
