The crio isn't the problem. It's the connection with the field.

I'm all for a new piece of equipment that better connects to field, but first we have to find one. Something we implement in our team is "don't shoot down an idea unless you have a better one".

So, get your heads a cracken and those brains a moven. Let's find us a new bridge.
Not sure how your team is doing vision processing... Most teams use the laptop for that to not reduce robot performance... Also, there was vision processing before the C-RIO. Look at Rack 'n Roll (2007)...

Anyways, C-RIO needs to stay. The kit needs some updates with more safety protection (built in) for the thousands of dollars in electronics we have. WI-FI will stay. It's secure and quick. The current problems lie within the field system. Also, the paranoia about wireless work in the pits needs to stop. If the system can't handle wireless pit work, then they are doing something wrong...
