Re: Nearly Officially Official: cRIO Control System To Be Reused

Re: putting in an IFI controller when you need the NI.

What about Rookie teams?
They won't have any demo bots left over from 2008!

they will only have the 2009 robot, no spare control system, and will have to cannibalize the 2009 robot for the sake of the 2010 one.

this means that for teams starting in 2009 onwards, they will only ever have one working robot at a time, while gathering a growing pile of robot shells.

I don't like this idea one bit, not even if there are two registration fees (with cRio and without).
