Re: C-Rio as on board computer?
The RoboRIO with the Zynq 7020 (ARM A9 and FPGA) is a little (quite a bit) more powerful than what the previous cRIO. I'm not sure a co-processor will even be required at this point. We'll see!

Also, you can likely remove the cRIO backplane from the housing if you desired to use it as a co-processor. It would just need a GDC approval. Keep in mind, the weight penalty of the cRIO is huge.
