So that means it CAN control a robot, but you need to do all the software stuff the "other" (=non-FRC) way, like a zillion other cRio users in industry.

Not impossible, not all that difficult even, but different for sure.

None of the FRC tools or software will be drop-in compatible, But don't let that discourage you one iota, because you have a super resource there for testing and demonstrations and, best of all, learning...
