Motor Control Rules
I have been looking for a while, but I can't find answers to the couple questions we have.

Firstly, can we control multiple (2) motors from one PWM output on the roboRIO? This wouold either be done with a PWM splitter or by connecting 2 motors to one motor controller/spike.

Also, R57 states that "Every relay module, servo, and PWM motor controller shall be connected to a corresponding port." We have, in the past, used PWM outputs to control Spikes, but I am getting the impression that this is illegal per R57. Is my logic correct, or can we still use PWM outputs to control Spikes?
