Re: Purchase second system - Drivers station and Power Supply
We're in the same boat ... however, I'm already aware of the AndyMark electrical page. What I'm wondering is who is the point-of-contact for purchasing the cRio. (NI? FRC? other?)

Rumor has it, according to some of the mentors on my team, that I'm able to purchase a secondary cRio for $750. Our team wants the second unit to be able to prototype on one platform while having a functional test-bed 'bot using the other. Problem is, none of my teammates can point me in the right direction.

I just spent some time on the FRC.org website and found no mention of it there. (and I did get distracted reading up about the potential new drivers' station setup)

I'd be much obliged if somebody could provide me a link or some guidance on getting a new cRio (and maybe what's included in the $750 price tag).

Thanks.
