In this video, LabVIEW Champion and VI Shots Blogger Michael Aivaliotis interviews Ray Almgren, who leads the worldwide academic relations program for NI, and several FRC teams (2023, 1739, 47, 107 and 2053) to get feedback on the NI CompactRIO controller.
I've gotten a number of emails from FIRST teams asking for more tutorials on how to get started with NI LabVIEW. We are developing some customized content to help you succeed in the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition.
In the meantime, check out these engineering resources:
As you’ve heard by now, the NI CompactRIO will be the new controller for the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition.
CompactRIO is an advanced control system designed for applications that require high performance and reliability. With the platform's open, embedded architecture, small size, extreme ruggedness, and flexibility, FIRST teams will use this hardware to quickly build custom robotic systems.
Check out this launch video, which shows how CompactRIO will help you Build a Better Robot:
