Amazing. Do you guys actually take any photos from the field?

We take pictures from the field, but the spike does not power camera, that's what the GBA adapter is for, because no other power source can be used except the 12V battery and the 7.2V backup battery. The camera requires you to hold the mode button to turn it on(one spike) and another spike to take the picture. The reason we have the blue relays is because the spike have an output of 12 VDC and that would fry an electronic circuit in the camera, so a secondary is needed to be used to complete the circuit.
