Re: 4.1.8.2 [R50] - Wait.. Wut? So I can run an RS775 or RS550 off a spike???
<R48> All electrical loads (motors, actuators, compressors) must be supplied by an approved power
regulating device (speed controller, relay module, or Digital Sidecar PWM port) that is
controlled by the cRIO-FRC on the ROBOT.
A. Each CIM motor and Fisher-Price motor must be connected to one and only one
approved speed controller. These motors must not be connected to relay modules.
B. Servos must be directly connected to the PWM ports on the Digital Sidecar. They must
not be connected to speed controllers or relay modules.
C. If used, the compressor must be connected to one and only one approved relay module.
D. Each other electrical load (motor or actuator) must be supplied by one and only one
approved speed controller, or one and only one relay module
That is from 2011.
Although I am going to say just because you can doesn't mean you should. We will be all of our big motors on jags or vics just for safety
