Yes, see R14 (Unless you can convince them to donate to every FIRST team).

Another issue with tablets is they often only have wireless communication. See R62. There is a question (Q370) about whether its legal to use a device that has wireless capability, as long as the wireless is disabled). It has not been answered yet. Without an ethernet port, it would be very hard to get the data from the tablet to the cRIO.
