Re: What is the roboRIO's OS?
If you're thinking of using the Pi for competition - remember that anything that controls motors must come from the RoboRio only. Of course, off board processing is allowed (or at least it was last year - interesting to note that this year in FTC offboard processing is illegal - I just went through the FTC inspector training - probably has something to do with the new Android-based control system), but it can't be wired to the CAN bus, PWM cables, or anything else that could be seen to control a motor.
