Alternatively, you can look for a team that can give you an old IFI controller or cRio, although that will have less functionality for your use case.

Thanks for the suggestion! I was looking at that and it looks like it only supports C#? Our project lead really wants to use python for everything. Is there a way that we can connect this to a PC and run code from there? I am not very familiar with .net. Or is this more of a stand-alone platform?
