+== Update your roboRIO
+The roboRIO is a full, headless (no screen or keyboard) linux computer and runs lots of software in addition to the code you write to drive your robot.  For example, there is a very useful web server that provides access to the roboRIO and connected devices and lets you test them.  To extend this web server to include support for the CTRE/CAN-connected devices, launch the CTRE Hero Lifeboat Imager, choose the FRC roboRio tab, and press the Install Phoenix/Web-based Config button.
