I wasn't supposed to see this, but I might have seen a full size mockup of a prototype for the Athena board... If what I saw was correct, it was a black square about 5-6" on each side and about 1-1.5" tall. It looked like it integrated functionality of the cRIO and the sidecar into it, so it should be much much lighter than that combined weight. I don't remember much else since it was only flashed for a couple seconds and I wasn't expecting it at all.
