Web,
In the Robot Rules, Section 5
"<R78> CIM motors and Fisher-Price motors must be connected to Speed Controllers. They may not be connected to Relay Modules."
The other motors may be connected to spikes but must be fused accordingly...
"<R83> Speed Controllers may be protected by 20A, 30A, or 40A Circuit Breakers. Speed Controllers may power motors or devices of any size.
<R84> SPIKE Relay Modules must be protected with a 20A Circuit Breaker. Multiple devices may be connected to Relay Modules if desired (but only one motor may be connected to each Relay Module)."
