I can't seem to find the correct post to quote, but I distinctly remember someone from NI saying that the SLS cover was just a prototype and the real ones would be injection molded plastic.

I am unsure of exactly what the material we used is. Production models will be injection molded.

I will tip my hat to the NI folk, but I believe the cRIO is die-cast, possibly sand blasted, and then painted. I don't believe it is cast iron; I'm leaning towards aluminum.

As for U2, Greg is absolutely correct. It simply adds current drive strength to the DIO. The victors require a few milliamps to turn on. A standard hobby servo signal requires almost no drive strength, and could be run without the buffering stage.
I believe you are referencing this post.

Well, a representative spoke of it in this video.
