• Servos must be directly connected to the PWM ports on the Robot Controller. They must not be connected to speed controllers or relay modules.

• FTC motors must be directly connected to the Robot Controller. They must not be connected to speed controllers or relay modules.

• If used, the compressor must be connected to one Spike relay module.

• Each other electrical load (motors or actuators) must be connected to one Victor speed controller or one Spike relay module.
