Re: 4.1.8.2 [R50] - Wait.. Wut? So I can run an RS775 or RS550 off a spike???

I certainly hope they don't mess with this rule. The circuit breakers are there to protect the wire already for safety purposes.

We have picked motors for our robot and were very careful to determine which applications required variable and which were on spikes. That's because of the number of motors we'll end up using: we really don't want to break into a second digital side car, and one more victor/jag means we will.

*crosses fingers that they leave the rule as it stands*
