...you could get a VRM to regulate power for the Hero board..
HERO can also be powered from straight-12V, or USB if that's easier. See HERO user manual for more info.

Yeah our goal is that new Talon/PCM/PDP features get added to HERO first well before FRC season, then over summer features are migrated into WPILIB/LabVIEW. Either way we will try to make the two APIs similar so porting to FRC Java/C++ is easier.
