Re: VEX motors connection
According to R52 you can run them off of any legal speed controller you like or even a spike. (Note: You can't run them off the solenoid breakout board.) We have been running two off of a talon all season. We give them about .8 power and so far we haven't had any trouble. We only run them for about 3/4 of a second at a time because they just push the discs into our shooter but they seem to be holding up. So you could try them on a spike and see if it works, we have never tried it but the rules allow it.
