Re: Regarding The cRio

Actually reread the rules:
"The only legal primary source of electrical energy on the ROBOT during the competition is one MK ES17-12 12VDC non-spillable lead acid battery, OR one EnerSys NP 18-12 battery, as provided in the 2010 KOP. Teams may use other equivalent 12V batteries during development, testing and practice MATCHES. However, during competition MATCHES only one MK ES17-12 battery OR one EnerSys NP 18-12 battery can be used on the ROBOT."


BIOS is not primary, its a secondary source

Then there is rule <r42>
Quote:
<R42> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A. Any battery other than, or in addition to, the one primary battery permitted by Rule <R40>.

Take a look at <R01> and <R42.A>. This would prohibit a secondary battery.

Quote:
<R01> Energy used by FRC ROBOTS, (i.e., stored at the start of a MATCH), shall come only from
the following sources:
A. Electrical energy derived from the onboard 12V battery (see Rule <R40> for specifications
and further details).
B. Compressed air stored in the pneumatic system, stored at a maximum pressure of 120 PSI
in no more than four Clippard Instruments tanks. Extraneous lengths of pneumatic tubing
shall not be used to increase the storage capacity of the air storage system.
C. A change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity.
D. Storage achieved by deformation of ROBOT parts.
