Thanks for your replies. This begs the question - that I had yet to consider: Will we, in our rookie year, have a practice robot?
This might seem OT relative to FC, but if we do plan to have a practice robot, looking at the very high $ / credit for the cRIO and PDB, the time is obviously now to make this call.
The change in the controller makes me wary of grabbing the cRIO since FRC is moving in another direction (right?), but two considerations push me
toward this:
- We have scheduled time for robotics every day through the end of February, so a practice robot would give us something to do once ours ships; and
- Outreach seems to be one of the most promising arenas for us during our rookie year, and a practice robot would help with this since it would give us something to show....
Thoughts?
Thanks again!
