Extra C Rio?

[Robert Cawthon]

Although my team is not in a financial position to do it, would it be possible for a veteran team to request a rookie team KOP and pay the extra $?

I'm in favor of not assuming anything as much as the next guy, but I'm trying to wrap my head around how FIRST could say and enforce that a team does not get to build something independent of their FRC build that happens to look, act, and drive like a robot they're building for the actual competition...

Either way a second cRIO lets you keep around last year's robot.

We just purchased a spare cRIO.

This will help in allowing the software team to run in parallel to the other teams.

If (god forbid) our existing cRIO is blown out in a competition we can switch.

We get a discount on purchasing this spare for NI as well.

Use the number previously posted. The folks at NI are very good and will get you set up.

God that would be great.
