Which, really, is the crux of my point. The cRIO costs roughly double what a Vex Cortex costs. For most teams, that's a crappy value, since the vex cortex could do the job adequately for 99% of teams.
With only 2 cRIOs, dedicated to a current competition bot and a practice bot, you have nothing to run past robots on for demos. Most teams like to keep at least one, and ideally all of their past robots in operational condition.
