As I mentioned in another thread...the easiest way to handle moving the cRIO between machines is if FIRST supplies (or the team buys) a new power distro panel, digital sidecar, and analog/pneumatic bumpers each year. Then, basically, everything would need to be unplugged from the cRIO and then just the cRIO and wireless bridge moved to another machine.

Out of curiosity, why would you want a new OI? Except for those teams that build an entire sealed case around their OI(not recommended, BTW, in case you have to replace it), the OI is one of the easiest parts to use with more than one machine.
