Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.

I'd promote better power design.

P.S.
If you really have this problem then an easier solution might be to have your software check voltage and limit your power draw as it approaches the low end.
Both the cRIO and roboRIO designs cut your motor draw when the voltage drops too low, but if you have really severe power problems then you can implement your own smart power management.
