Need help with motor controls for window motors
In deciding which motors we should use for a turret mechanism, our team (708) decided to go with window motors. However, we ran into a little snag: we aren't sure if we are able to use Vics or Jags for controlling a window motor instead of spikes. Our programmers hooked one up to a Jag, and they were able to get readings. We just aren't sure if under FIRST's regulations, we are allowed to use anything other than spikes. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?
