Early Bird Control System

I wonder what the cost will be for just a 2nd CRio and Power Distro Board. Seeing many teams will have a spare Digital Side car and Analog Bumper.

I believe the NI fellows that made the presentation at the IndianaFIRST forum said one extra package will be available to each FIRST teams for $650 (any more and you pay full price).

He didn't give a firm number, but he suggested that "less than $700" was the target. However, that "one extra package" is only the NI-supplied components: the cRIO and its plug-in modules. Power Distribution, Sidecars, and Breakouts are to be available a la carte through AndyMark (also at an as yet undisclosed price).

I though they said $1000 for an the extra cRIO and each team could purchase one at that price.

I believe Andy was estimating $200-$300 for the PD, sidecar and breakouts.

I believe Barry said "under $1000, and probably under $700". Whether or not he knew the actual figure is questionable.

An email goes out to your shipping contact with a tracking number once it gets picked up in NH.

I received an email this evening with my tracking number saying something weighing 26 lbs was picked up from NH. It had a reference number of "2106" attached tp the order. It didn't say what it was, but i'd bet good money that it's the control system.
