Re: Multiple cRIO's-Power and Communication

I think you can use the discounted price. In the blue box under [R14] it says "Example: Special price discounts from National Instruments and Texas Instruments are being offered to all FIRST teams. The discounted purchase price of items from these sources would be used in the additional parts accounting calculations."

However, I don't think you can use the discounted price of an FRC-CRIO II when you are using the FRC-CRIO. The discounted price of the FRC-CRIO was $750 (with modules, I'm not sure it was available without modules). Unfortunately, this exceeds the $400 per item limit [R14].

I think the only legal way to use a cRIO as a co-processor is to use an FRC-CRIO II
