The question cannot be fairly answered, because as the weeks unfold, we find it less and less necessary to utilize the newer features of the cRIO, that could have easily been done with the IFI system.

Example, color and camera tracking is not vital (nor an advantage) to win in this year's game. We spent so much time on a shooter, turret, and camera tracking, when indeed a team that didn't put in the time, create a basic dumper bot which is more effective and accurate, and most importantly, easier to build.
Lets all remember what happened early on during the build season. Many were skeptical about dumper bots, simply because you had to aim perfectly and be at almost zero range (bumper to bumper) to score points. After participating in two events, a great no. of teams barely knew the basics to get their robot going. How do I know this? Just look at the amount of teams that either didnt move or move during autonomous in matches. Even though the code was provided, teams still had a difficult time.
Due to how the game is playing out and level of support this year, it was not necessary to maximize the potential of the cRIO yet, to be successful in the robot part of the competitions.
