Re: Protecting the roboRIO
The roborio is protected against shorts between any of it's external pins. We tested it and were unable to damage the RoboRio by intentionally shorting any of the pins together. Offhand, I don't recall the voltage they're protected up to, but it's well above the 24V we have on the robot.
