Re: Motors, Relays, Rules....
1) Rule <S01> through <S05> are "Safety" rules. You will find them "The Game" section of the manual (Section 4.3.1).
2) Don't connect your Fisher Price motor through the Spike relay. You must use a speed controller. This is both smart and required by the rules (according to Rule <R87> "CIM motors and Fisher-Price motors must be connected to Speed Controllers. They may not be connected to Relay Modules.").
3) Using the speed controller is the correct solution. If you are getting less than full performance from the motor/speed controller system, check your software to get sure that a full-power signal (255 for full forward or 0 for full reverse, or the other way around depending on how you have the motor wired) is being sent to the speed controller when the joystick (or other input device) is at the full range of motion.
4) Keep asking questions! We are all here to help.
