The cRIO isn't obnoxiously heavy--and the cRIO-FRC II that comes in the rookie kits next year (and is available to everyone else for around $300) will make that less of an issue still. Other IO modules haven't been allowed so far...but 2012 is another day.

Oh, and bumpers are now mandatory--in 2010 and 2011, the whole way around. Keep that in mind.
Back in MY day, we had full metal to metal contact. Not any of this wussy bumper stuff!

So you have the option to not use the cRIO (at least so far)? Does IFI still offer controllers to use?
