Re: Whos getting a second CRio
We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase a complete second control system. With our design this year it may be the only thing that saves us..
We actually plan to purchase the bare minimum pieces to use with the 2nd CRio and be able to swap it out during the offseason to do a number of other projects.
I would encourage other teams to think about it if they have the money.
You can get a digital side car, power distribution board, and the 120 Amp breaker for about $300 ... just dont' forget to buy the connectors (including the battery connector) and the breakers... so for less than $400 you can set up another prototyping board and just have to swap the cRio back and forth...(along with reprogramming it by cable..)
Not a bad approach... and you have 2 digital sidecars already in the kit..
This really allows alot of flexibility for bench testing
