how to identify roboRIO
We have a need to determine the unique roboRIO our code is running on; our test robot does not have a PCM, so we don't want to enable pneumatics if it's running on the test box so we don't flood the console with the CAN timeout errors?

Has anyone hit on a good way to determine the identity of the roboRIO (serial #, or name?)

We're working off the MAC addresses of the network interfaces right now, which is fine, but was curious if anyone had done it a different way.
