Re: RoboRio

Does the new power board supply 12 V or 24 V power to the RoboRio? I'm just wondering if the minimum voltage went up or down as compared to FRC-cRIO-II, because the spec sheet Joe uploaded lists 6.8V as the minimum voltage.

The NI page has a spec sheet that says there's a staged brownout from 4.5V-6.8V. Is that new? My understanding is that the current PDB feeds 24V to the cRio, so 4.5V of battery voltage (plus a bit for resistance losses) can meet the 9-30 V power requirement. If that requirement goes up to 6.8 V or down to 3.4 V, that has implications for robot design.
