Re: Extra C Rio?
I just had a detailed conversation with NI about what their policy is going to be about the timing of ordering cRIOs at the $750 price.
The $750 price is based on a calendar year. The year starts Jan 1st. Late 2008 was an exception. Many of us ordered a second cRIO in late 2008 for the 2009 season. All those early orders are rolled together and considered part of your 2009 orders.
For example, we ordered a second cRIO in December 2008. I am precluded from ordering another at the $750 price until Jan 1st, 2010. You can order all you want at the $1,400 price.
I tried to convince them that FRC teams really run on a school calendar year (or at least from the date of a team's registration for a FRC event) but they wouldn't budge. If we want to change this it would have to be an agreement between FIRST and NI.
I don't know what this means for the Rookie team who wants to order a second cRIO in the Fall. I forgot to ask about that.
