Re: New vs Old spike relays

The only power regulating devices for actuators permitted on the ROBOT include:

A. Jaguar motor controller (P/N: MDL-BDC, MDL-BDC24, and 217-3367),
B. Victor 884 motor controller (P/N: VICTOR-884-12/12),
C. Victor 888 motor controller (P/N: 217-2769),
D. Talon motor controller (P/N: CTRE_Talon and am-2195),
E. VEX motor controller (P/N: 276-2193) for controlling VEX 2-wire Motor 393 (P/N: 276-2177) only, and
F. Spike H-Bridge Relay (P/N: 217-0220).
You would have a hard time convincing an inspector that a 10 year old spike that looks different than the current Spikes contains the same part number.

Also, when you're saying you're using old electronics on your robot, what exactly are you referring to? The cRio, Digital Sidecar, and Power Distribution Board are all required items, and they don't go back to 2002-2004... If I remember right, they were introduced in the 2009 season.
