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

Since obviously my comments are unsupported. I will not continue making them.

Return to this thread after we get to the competition and we will all see what happens. We will check on prices then too..

My numbers on costs came from an NI rep... and the high end included the entire control system and not just the cRIO. Many of these components are custom for FIRST.

I do have to worry when we look a gift horse in the mouth...

Sometimes I think that the influence the FIRST community has on the industrial control community in general is not quite what we think.

i would like FIRST to become a greater influence... but to think that NI is doing this in order to make a significant gain in the real market is a not realistic.

I am not going to say more... whether you like the change or not... NI is providing equipment because they also believe in FIRST. Not for advertising.

Believe it or not..
