Re: Question About Withholding Allowance

This is the main reason we invested (last year) in a second cRIO and (this year) in a second RoboRIO and control components - we held a special piggybackr campaign to buy the Robo.

Our first two years, we just pulled the 'RIO from the control board before bagging and built a mockup control board so we could continue coding and testing between bag and competition. Then, we just had to re-mount and rewire the one COTS component.

OBTW, we didn't think of this until more recently, but servos would be great for the mockup board - the direction that they point indicates the speed you're trying to drive them as motor controllers.
