Need some help with the new system.

[efoote868]

Hello CD,

I was away last season from FIRST, but now that I'm on a co-op this semester I'm back with my old team.
A lot has changed since I last touched the code (and I hope as a mentor I'll never touch it again, that's what students are for ). I have a couple of questions about this year's system.


Completely disregarding the legality of it in game, will the cRIO interface to another laptop? For instance, if I wanted to build this system myself, do I have to use that particular mini laptop?

Does labview have to be installed on the laptop that interfaces to the cRIO, or if not, what software needs to be installed? Will labview compile an executable, or what exactly happens?



That's about all I can think of for now, I'm sure I'll have a few more questions as I get answers.
