Hello all,

I am looking for an alternative to a roboRIO or some sort of middle interface for controlling robot hardware. I am on a college robotics team and competing in a competition which requires heavy computational power. I was on on FRC Team so I know about the roboRIO control system. It has to be able to handle high currents and high power motors.

Our current robot's control system is very old (~10 years) and I am trying to convince other team members to upgrade the extremely outdated system. We have no code written for it so we might as well.

I want the robot's main code to be running on a laptop (vision processing) while it connects to some sort of middle interface that connects to GPS, Motor Controllers, and Encoders. (maybe support of CAN as well?) Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Drew Williams
