Also, if you're using your own relay, it is considered a CUSTOM CIRCUIT so you can't run a motor off it.
From the manual
Quote:
R44:
CUSTOM CIRCUITS shall not directly alter the power pathways between the ROBOT battery, PDP, motor controllers, relays,
motors, or other elements of the ROBOT control system (items explicitly mentioned in R55). 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.

The only power regulating devices for actuators permitted on the ROBOT include:
A: Motor controllers
B. Relay Modules
A. Spike H-Bridge Relay (P/N: 217-0220 and SPIKE-RELAY-H)
C: Pneumatics control module

I can't get the indentation right, but it says that the only relay that can be used to drive actuators is the purchased spike.
