It is important to remind everyone that with increased motor usage, available electrical power from the battery will become an issue. You cannot simply run all the motors at the same time. The terminal voltage on the battery will fall to the point that the Crio either disables all outputs or it reboots. Be careful to watch terminal voltage as displayed on your dashboard while practicing. Expect that transients are much worse than what is displayed on the dashboard.
What is usually the bear minimum volatge that the cRIO or the wireless router starts to reset? Is it like 10 volts?
