Re: NI Week Athena Announcement and Q&A Panel

  • Deploying over USB will be available.
  • LabVIEW Pro Edition, Java SE, and C++ 11 will be used.
  • Both Ethernet and USB radios are compatible, they are still testing to find which radio will be used.
  • Ethernet cameras (i.e. Axis cameras), USB camera (less expensive), and even commercial cameras (high quality).
  • Targeting low $400s in price, and expecting for it to eventually lower in the future. Expect a more firm answer at the 2014 Championship.
  • The Kinect will be available to interface directly to the RoboRIO, but NI doesn't plan on including native support.
  • Reverse polarity protection +- 12V
  • Library level (not processor level) software simulator.
  • Additional diagnostic tools will be available in the driverstation for teams, and in the FMS for event staff.
  • RoboRIO will have conformal coating.
  • 1 RoboRIO will be available per team at a reduced rate once per year, additional units will be at the academic price.
