Using Digital I/O lines...

A thought that just occurred to me.

In the past 1075 has come very close to using all 8 of our relay outputs on the RC.

From my understanding of how they work, is they're basically a GND line with two signal lines, 1 for forward, and 1 for reverse.

This leads me to a 2part question:

1) Could you not then, in theory, configure some of your Digital I/Os as Output, and emulate the Relay ports by switching two signal lines appropriately?

2) Would this be FRC legal?
