Re: Globe motor to spike controller

I agree. Especially if you replace the fuse in the SPIKE with an auto-reset, which is legal. You're probably not going to stall the motor for very long, and if you do, you'll burn it before you hurt the spike, I would think. The only thing your team needs to decide is if they need the variable control of a victor. If not, make it easy in yourselves, right?
