We've been running the robot quite a bit, including some hard hits (we used it as an opponent robot for driver practice this year), and we haven't had any drop outs. I don't know how the antenna in it is configured.

You're guess is as good as mine when it comes to the RoboRio case and debris - we don't have a case on our test board! They sent us the bare circuit board with some standoffs, and that's what we've been using so far. No problems with it, but then again we haven't been doing any actual work on that robot since we put the board on - no drilling or cutting of anything, and the pan it was mounted to was brand new.

We haven't tested the current sensors on the PDB yet - That wasn't available in the library before kickoff, and I'm not sure if it's available yet (it's been a while since we've had time to look at any updates). Once the season is done with, we'll reconvene our Alpha Test group inside the team and see what new stuff we can play with in the code

Nice! I can't wait till I can get my hands on one of them next year . I am pretty sure it won't be in the WPILib, at least as of now, so you may need to write some C or Assembler code, depending on how the low level peripherals are written on the cRIO. Since you don't have that info, don't worry about it. It may be a hassle to get until next year
