Regarding The cRio

[Al3+]

Hmmmm...

<R56> ROBOTS must be controlled via the programmable National Instruments cRIO-FRC (National Instruments part number 780406-01). Other controllers shall not be used.

Custom circuits and additional electronics are allowed to utilize the Port 2 Ethernet bus and/or the CAN-bus to communicate between devices. Note however, that the ROBOT must be controlled by the cRIO-FRC (see Rule <R56>). Thus, any additional devices on the Ethernet or CAN-bus must not provide command signals that do not originate from the cRIO-FRC It is our intent to incrementally open access to the full control system technologies in a controlled manner that reduces the risk of “unanticipated surprises” as we gain experience with the system.

That's what the competition manual says; I'm not sure how to interpret it or how you plan to use the other cRIO.

Edit: And also <R22> as mentioned above.

I have a theory that you can use the port 2 ethernet port and connect the crio from the port one. Some one end of the enternet goes to the # 1 port then into the #2 port of the other and the camera goes on the 2nd post of #1
