It's possible whoever made the diagram was just using some kind of stock motor image so as to not give any hints, even the pictures of the battery and some of the pneumatic components look a bit different than what we're used to, and as it has been pointed out already, the cRIO is not shown in the configuration FIRST uses either.


One things for sure though, FIRST certainly isn't making this year easy with all these new components to fit in to already limited spaces. I thought new technology was supposed to be getting smaller (Like cell phones and computer chips) guess that wouldn't be as fun though would it?
