The only power regulating devices for actuators permitted on 2012 FRC Robots include:
A. Jaguar motor controller (PNs MDL-BDC and MDL-BDC24),
B. Victor motor controller (PN FR-VIC884)
C. VEX motor controller (PN 276-2193)
D. Spike Relay module (PN SPIKE-RELAY-H)
Thank you! Just another quick question with that, how would we connect the VEX motor controller to the board because the connections look like they have to be inverted on the cRIO 9403. Also, in addition to the cRIO, what else do the motors have to be connected to?
