Re: pic: Good use of a old cRio

We dug up some laptops had been gathering dust (we got in 2010 ish once they were too old for a sponsor) and put the 2014 driver station on them. They run XP, so the new driver station won't work.

This is a good end for old XP laptops that aren't worth updating. I'm sure someone you know has one of those lying around. It was by far the easiest installation process of the year. The laptop battery's a little finnicky, but it really does great.

Its sad that this is the only way to make 6 years of robot work. I really hope NI/WPI releases a better solution in the future, but until then, I still get to use the only OS that doesn't give me problems, which I really quite enjoy.
