The roboRIO's internal regulation was designed so that the roboRIO can be connected to any 12V PD circuit. I'm pretty sure the rules will specify that you use the blue circuit on the end of the PD, though.
Thanks for the link. I'll give that a read. I'm sure the roboRio will be required to be on the 10A fused connection for protection.

I believe the old PDB kept the 24V supply up with a battery even as low as 4V (or maybe I'm making that number up). When it says the roboRio minimum is 7V, is that the same sort of bottom end for the regulator inside? The battery pretty much never drops below 4V, but can certainly get pulled below 7V if several things are going wrong at the same time, and I'd hate to add a controller reboot to the list of consequences. How does roboRio brownout/reboot compare to that of the regulated supply on the old PDB?
