Re: Regarding The cRio

Just putting this out there, I've been an inspector at 3 regionals(WPI, Boston, and CT) and the inspection checklist has always included this line:

Quote:
Controller – 1 cRIO must be used on the robot and it must be the only device connected to the 37-pin Digital Sidecar ports and the 25-pin ports on the Solenoid and Analog Breakout(s) used on the robot <R56>
The way I read that is that you can't use more than 1(even if cost wasn't an issue). So as an inspector, without seeing an update or Q&A post specifically allowing it, I would say no to that idea.
