Re: cRIO, has it 'upped the game'?

We're measuring (and using) wheel RPM from encoders without worrying about timers and interrupts.

We're doing trigonometry and physics calculations everywhere without worrying about how to deal with floating point math.

We're tuning PID controllers without downloading the code more than once.

We're using the object-oriented features of C++ and loving them.

We're running separate code in separate threads rather than worrying about countless state variables.

This year, thanks to the cRIO, we've been able to spend more time thinking about what we're going to do and less about how we're going to get the computer to do that.
