I like the CRIO. It's a nice system, as buggy as our old one may be.
You just need to convert the DC to AC; the 12v DC would convert to 110v AC.


Oh it seems like we are not doing autonomous this year. It seems that we lack the funds. It is the first time we would go to 2 regionals for the first time this year and we already invested too much money for that. There will be less money for the actual robot this year. Lets just hope my idea gets implemented, I do not like conformity.
