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

Design solutions should be how we solve this problem (although I wouldn't mind having at least 2 floating around anyways).
Because it would be a physical impossibility for us to fit a cRIO in our 2006, 2007, or 2008 robots.

We shouldn't see this as a challenge, we should see this as a step taken backwards, simply for progress' sake, where none was particularly needed.
