Go to Post It is not necessary to draw 200 amps to move a robot through a two minute match. Rule of thumb is you robot should be able to compete for three matches without a battery change. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

The REVDuino looks like a good option because it does state that you can stack the MXP boards using the provided connector. You could use I2C to communicate between the roboRio and the arduino to avoid any conflict in the UART. There are enough threads here on that very topic that it shouldn't be too difficult.

The I2C breakout board is intriguing. You should be able to power it using the 5V from the VRM. Seems like a cheap and simple solution.

I really hope you can power through the MXP. The NAVX we are both using is powered with it.

Talon SRXs are really the best option to extend the analog capabilities, but I'm guessing you aren't using them if you're still looking for more analog ins.

I know that wasn't super helpful. Maybe somebody can chime in who has some experience with those devices.
