Smaller robots + the non-compactness of our existing control system = major pain in the neck

The cRIO (and it's auxiliary hardware) is far too bulky to make the robots significantly smaller. We've had very wide open fields the past couple of year (2006, out side of the ramps was wide open / 2007, fairly wide open except near the rack / 2008, pretty wide open unless there was lots of traffic generated / 2009, wide open). Putting more elements on the field or creating obstacles would be kind of nice...
