Re: Custom Solenoid Breakout

Justin,
Under the 2011 rules there are several references to the use of breakout boards. Specifically, power can only be routed from the PD to one, two, or three breakout boards. See R38, R39, R40. As such you would not be able to power the solenoids under the 2011 rules. As the 2012 rules have not been released, I cannot say what that document may contain. As always, the GDC through the Q&A will have the final say.
