I'm in charge of ordering parts for my team, and yesterday one of the engineers came to me asking me to go and buy another Victor speed controller...

The problem I found was that you cannot spend over $300 on electronics, and over $100 for anyone device

The victors sell for $115

you get 4 in the KOP, but the electronics diagram FIRST profides shows 9 victors...

so are you only allowed to use the ones in the KOP???

You can have as many Victors as you want. I swear some of the robots I saw last year had 10 of them...

no, you can buy as many Victors and relay Spikes as you want - they dont count towards the $300 electronics limit, they only count towards the $3500 total robot limit

BTW you get them from InnovationFIRST.com

i knew where to get them, I just thought it odd to have such a contradiction...

Is there restrictions on buying more solenoids for your robot?

No, you may have as many solenoids and cylendars as you want.
