Re: cRIO, has it 'upped the game'?

I'm going to say that too. We've been severely limited this year; full capability is not here for our use yet. Over the next year or two, that will change.

However, before that happens, some reworking needs to be done. Not to the cRIO, necessarily, but to the DS. We've all heard the problems: ESD killing it, various ports dying for no apparent reason, etc., plus the cRIO or one of the other robot-side components has one or two "vulnerable" cables where, if they lose connection briefly, your robot is stuck until a reset happens.

Should this structural reworking happen during the offseason (as I hope it will), I expect to see many more things that the IFI processors couldn't do next year and the year after. If not, I'll see them stop in the middle of happening.

In short, Not Yet is my answer as well.
