Replacement for spikes

What have teams been using for a replacement for Spikes? We are down to our last few without cannibalizing old robots and they aren't manufactured any longer. Sometimes we just need to control a small motor, or turn on some lights.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: Replacement for spikes

Probably not exactly what you're looking for but the Rev Spark is a relatively inexpensive motor controller. With the PCM and cheaper motor controllers, Spikes have essentially become obsolete.

Currently 274 left in stock, get em while you still can!

(but yea, for $10 more and free shipping I would go with the Spark)

Re: Replacement for spikes

Depending on the lights, you could use the solenoid module.
