Al,
Ah, now that I go back and reread my initial post after reading your response, I can see how my post could be interpreted two ways.
Since the 08 robot's electronics got completely removed, we were thinking of wiring it up to to use the cRIO to test out new algorithms for control and just get it working again. We could almost just use the old fuse blocks which we have plenty of lying around, except that we need the 24 volt boost converter to power the cRIO.
Our backup plan definitely still is to use the 08 control system in it's entirety, controller and all.
After classes close out for the semester, I'm going to do some research and work on finding a suitable boost converter as suggested. Eric gave me some suggestions via PM, so I think I'm covered. Thanks everyone for your help.
