Omar, Thanks for the write up and the investigation work.

I see this as a Chicken and a egg problem...
I purchased these sensors over 4 years ago, and have used them on every bot since then... How was I to check it against the roboRIO specs?

Seems to me the hardware design team on the roboRIO missed the mark, by not providing the same sensor interface we had on the cRio. I mean backward compatibility to existing sensor base would have been as easy as selecting a different resistor?
