Used in the application of FRC? How? With VHDL? LabVIEW?

The answer to your question is yes, but programming an FPGA is not an easy task. Even if you knew VHDL really well, how would you go about programming the cRIO? Getting the development environment together without having a LabVIEW license to program a FPGA is easier said than done. That's not to say it can't be done though. There were teams interested in doing this sort of stuff before, but couldn't due to rules. It would be really cool too.
