Basically, yes. We had a few spares, so we could keep several robots functional at once. We would just move the 4-slot cRio to the new robot every year and make room for a 6-slot if we wanted to keep the robot up and running. It was pretty nice, because you didn't have to mess with too many wires or plugs - disconnect power, Ethernet, the cable to the sidecar, and any breakout boards and your set. Then that stuff plugs into the replacement easily enough without having to worry about screwing up port numbers. It's not that easy with the roborio, though.
