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:
