Using 2 cRios to issue commands

[Jeff Pahl]

Insert standard disclaimer regarding past and future rules here.....

We (the Lead Inspectors) were asked this question last year at Championship, and after a little research and discussion this is what we came up with:

All commands to motors, pneumatics, etc, have had to come from a single cRIO in past years. It is legal to have a second cRIO on the robot for other purposes, the one that has come up a few times is teams wanting to use it for vision processing. A 4 slot chassis is able to be purchased by all teams (without modules) for less than the $400 limit, making it a legal COTS computing device for use on the robot.
