Re: 4-slot cRIO and default modules

You can stick whichever module you need in slot-4 of the cRIO FRC II.
The older cRIO FRC I, was just given the 3+0+3+0 pattern as a design choice. We are unlikely to mix the two up.

The FPGA is really full with all it's been given to do.
Excess capacity got sucked up to benefit us in other much more potentially useful ways.

All resources are limited in one way or another.
Engineering is designing and choosing between the optimal tradeoffs for our application.
