Re: roboRio limited to 8 Analog Inputs

Hey Joe, I understand the need for more analog.

I'm sure it's not a surprise, but I've been using Talon SRX's for my analogs when testing things, but honestly its because my sensors are close to the Talons and I'm lazy when it comes to wiring. Also 20ms was sufficient for what I was doing at the time. Also I like being able to use the self-test in the RIO web-based config to quickly-peak at sensor values (Self-test works even with no robot code, I love that).

What do you think the fastest resolution teams typically will need?
If you need faster than say a sample per 10ms, then the MXP extensions might be better, though I haven't actually used them yet.

EDIT : FYI, I saw your post about your budget. But I figured I'd chime in anyway for teams that did have SRXs.
