Setting Up a Denso Window Motor
Hey everyone!

I'm currently wiring up a Denso window motor to our robot, and I was hoping I could get some help. The plan is for this window motor to power a "rake" that will grab on to Orbit balls and draw them into a firing chamber.

The motor should be on the entire time that the robot is powered, but we still want to be able to turn it off in case of emergnecy. Should we wire this motor through a Jaguar, Victor, or Spike? I'm personally thinking a Spike...

Also, how do I power this motor? I've looked through the KoP, and I can't find any connection that matched the housing around the power inputs on the motor. Am I supposed to just solder wires to the connections?

Thanks for all you help!
