FYI to those teams planning on purchasing a new cRIO and modules for use on this year’s robot, NI just bumped the expected ship date for our cRIO ordered on 1/20 from 1/27 to 2/4.
A decently long lead time, but we can use a previous season’s cRIO, so no worries. However, if your team is planning to buy one, you might consider placing an order now.
For those who aren’t aware, teams are entitled to purchase one new cRIO and related I/O modules every year for a heavily discounted cost of $750 plus shipping. I believe even rookie teams who received their cRIO in the kit are permitted to buy an extra.
