Re: Solenoid 12V Regulator on 24V Breakout?

I obviously wouldn't recommend it and remember one Spike can control two 12v solenoids.

From my quick check of the 2013 manual, you may have an issue with this rule.

Custom circuits shall not directly alter the power pathways between the ROBOT battery, PD Board, motor controllers,
relays, motors, or other elements of the ROBOT control system (including the power pathways to other sensors or
circuits). Custom high impedance voltage monitoring or low impedance current monitoring circuitry connected to the
ROBOT’S electrical system is acceptable, if the effect on the ROBOT outputs is inconsequential.
