You might have one of the old 12V to 5V buck converters from the old control system. If all you needed the VRM for was to power the radio, this should be fine.

Look at the 12V to 5V converter on this page: https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s...w#!prettyPhoto

If you don't have one lying around, there are similar ones on AndyMark and Amazon.
