Yeah, the beta hardware has definitely been helpful. The main reason our success with it has been surprising though is because we still have a bot equipped with the cRIO and, since some of our code still wasn't updated to fit the new functionality, we had been facing some small performance issues with our beta hardware bot at RITR. At THOR, we brought both the cRIO bot and the roboRio bot to compete, and it was just exciting to see the beta bot come out on top.
