 You can have any color robot you like, so long as it stays that color. So you shouldn't have to worry unless you have a chameleon bot. - Kevin Sevcik [more] |

Re: The increasing amount of pre-canned code
You raise an interesting point. I think a large amount of the disdain aimed at NI is due to perceived unreliability of the cRIO. I think this is less a function of ACTUAL unreliability, and more a function of the cRIO being several orders of magnitude more powerful than we need it to be.
We went from an 8bit MCU running at 20MHz with a few K of ram, to a 32bit processor, running at 400MHz with a boatload of ram, for the SAME application. Yes, there were some teams that had started to push the limitations of the IFI system, but the cRIO seems a bit like driving a finishing nail with a sledgehammer. Sure, it works, but is it REALLY the right tool for the job?
