Re: wiring solenoids

You can wire the double selenoids in that way, or you can wire it to 2 relays as my team did last year.

To wire it to 2 relays, wire the postive/negatives on 1 side of the selenoid to the postive/negatives on the relay, and the other side of the relay, positive to a breaker and the negative to a ground. Wire the other side of the selenoid in the same way.

Both ways mentioned will work, it's just a matter of preference.
