Where are you getting $3900 for the NI cRIO? I looked through the NI website, and found:
Integrated 400 MHz Real-Time Controller and 2M Gate FPGA for $2999.00
32 Channel Digital I/O module for $349.00
32 Channel Analog Input module for $799.00
8-Channel Relay, 60 VDC/30 Vrms, 750 mA (Relay Outputs) $299.00
As for the Pulse Generation... I guess we use the Digital I/O...

I'm also being generous on the ports, there are much less in the actual system.

Add this up and you get $4446.00 total, and all of these are modules, so if any single part breaks, you can replace it... and also, the FIRST Modules should be much cheaper, or will be made cheaper to FIRST teams. <-Talk about a run-on sentence...
