Re: Nearly Officially Official: cRIO Control System To Be Reused
I was just pondering on this fact since I saw the post go up. The crio will probably sell around $4000 at the MOST. I don't know the pricing, just throwing a number out there. It should be that if your team wants to fundraise extra hard or they have a supply of money, buy an extra set of controllers from year to year. We fundraised an extra $6,000 seperate from the our $40,000 budget in order to buy broaches and a really nice toolbox along with CNC tooling. So my main point is that teams should fundraise more to keep their robots going. I love our 08 robot more than the 07 because their so no maintainence on the 08. It works at any time of day and it doesn't have severe problems. And I do agree with Cory about IFI, they are solid and I prefer to use stuff that works. So guys, rememember that anything made can be bought but it might cost ya.
