Re: Can I use a Spike to control a BaneBots motor?
You can do it but I would not recommend it. Last year, we started out using Spikes on Banebot RS550's running our conveyors and were continually blowing fuses. You are only allowed to use the resettable fuses with a compressor and nothing else connected to a Spike. We ended up switching over to Victors and did not have any more issues.
