Even if it isn't legal, it opens up a huge number of options. All you need to drive a robot would be the wireless bridge and some custom software on a networked computer driving it. Depending on what data is accessible over the CAN bus, you could even implement some closed loop control and use sensors. A lot less expensive than a second CRIO, and it would work for probably 90% of the robots out there without any loss in functionality.
