I personally do not enjoy making those plastic converters, and would rather a PCB, I have an old revision made in EAGLE on the robot (and it worked), and I can post a picture of that later.
Let me know what you think,

Good idea, but not a good design in my opinion.
You would have a heck of a time getting the screw that holds the serial port to the cRIO screwed in.
Rotate the RJ-12 port to be in straight in line with the RS-232 port.
