It's well below that. The reason teams are required to wire the cRIO and the bridge into the dedicated power terminals at the end of the PDB isn't because FIRST likes to make random rules. These power terminals have been designed so that your cRIO and bridge will continue functioning well after the rest of the robot is starved for power.

The cRIO-II operates down to 9V although its nominal power supply on the PDB is 24V. The original cRIO operated down to 19V, and would cut out when battery voltage dipped to 8V.
