Solenoids + 20A breakers.
I was going to wire each of the needed solenoids on our robot this year to a spike, then each spike to its own 20A breaker, but then I saw a diagram on (the real) page 26 of the robot manual. It had the RC going to one 20A breaker, the compressor going to the other, and then Spike Relays going to a 20A breaker. So that leaves me with a question: are we allowed to wire multiple spikes to one 20A breaker? That is, 7 solenoids connected to 7 spikes, and then one 20A breaker taking all seven of the spike power connections.

Let me know. This would actually be really awesome.
