The New Components
Welcome! We've got a number of 'new' components for the 2015 Competition Season. People following along with the Alpha Testing that's gone on for the last year will already be fairly familiar with these devices. We won't rehash the descriptions that can be found in the Alpha section of the web page, but we'll show you the new components again with their official shells.

Here is the Cross the Road Electronics voltage regulation module, or VRM.

Here is the Cross the Road Electronics pneumatic control module, or PCM.

Here is the Cross the Road Electronics power distribution board, or PDB. The only surprise here that we hadn't seen before is the enclosed fastening area where you attach the main breaker. If you remove the small cover held on by the two machine screws, you'll find studs similar to what you're used to on the current PDB. Now there's no way anything will contact those studs, and you'll no longer have to wrap them in tape for safety.

Here is the National Instruments RoboRio.
