It wasn't really legal last year. That was the method we were attempting, and in Boston it was deemed illegal. We talked to some Innovation First guys, and decided that to make it legal, we wired a spike to a switch, and had him with us telling the judge it was OK during reinspection.

The next team update clearifed that rule, and stated that the compressor spike needed to be controlled by the RC, probably because of me.
