The RC receiver will be used in place of the RoboRIO. You could technically have the RC receiver feed the to go top and then have the Rio drive all the motors, but you won't be able to utilize SOUp in or Labview without making modifications to remove the reliance on driverstation packets to keep everything enabled. This type of configuration isn't a small undertaking if you're here asking about how to plug things in.

Easiest way to wire it up will be to remove the Rio entirely.

Any motor controllers you were using will be driven by the PWM outputs on the RC receiver. After wiring them up you'll likely need to go through the calibration sequence on each motor controller while the RC receiver is powered (and you're walking the signal through its full range of input vals). If you don't know how to calibrate the motor controllers, Google or ask here. You need to let us know what type of controllers you're using.

It you had any sensors wired to the rio, or any pneumatic components, you're not going to be able to easily interface that with the RC controller. And for the most part any automation you may have programmed in to the too will not be replicated with the RC system.
