oRIO

[jijiglobe]

So the robot controller that we currently use: compactRIO is abbreviated as cRIO so the logical thing to call the new RoboRio is rRio. Now, this is not very nice and easy to say. so the obvious thing to abbreviate it to is oRIO, chopping of the "rob" in the beginning. So yeah... oRIO.

Too bad it isn't black, white, round, and yummy. I don't think it will stand up to the milk dunk either.

There's only one way to find out.

Athena sounded way cooler (codenames usually do) so I think that we should just stick with that.

Not water... Milk game.

A milk game is actually possible because milk is non-conductive, so it won't screw up the electronics. If it were a milk game, I would love to see some team make a tri-layered robot with the two outer layers black and the inner layer white ! Oh yeah, and I forgot about the logo imprinted on the top. That would satisfy my appetite, or would it?

Best I can do unless we get some sponsorship from Nabisco.

This is one of the single greatest posts ever on CD.

$50 might be a bit much to make a joke, but if anyone's interested I found a giant plastic Oreo that is more than big enough to house your oRIO.

Edit: Here's a $14 Oreo tin that is also more than big enough to house an oRIO.

[yash101]

That tin might be worth if I can persuade my mom to place the oRios in there. My mom is great at hiding oRios from me ! That way, I can fool her into hiding them inside this tin. All I would have to do, then, would be to look for a giant oRio. Even better, place an oRio locater inside the tin, so when your mom hides it, press a button and you will get a map of where it is located, and it will start honking, waiting for you to take a byte!
This would be gr8!

You are going to have to talk to the mentor of Team 4653 Ironman Robotics about that one.
He is in charge of designing and producing oreo cookies and always brings us some new crazy test flavors during build season!

Wow! That is amazing! My type of job

Milk is 85-95% water so it would be conductive.
