Er, I think that would depend on the type of double solenoid you used and how it was wired to the spike. For instance the ones Team 1546 used last year (the same ones supplied in the KoP previously) actually had two sets of solenoid power terminals. To use one spike for both solenoids, you'd need to rig up a couple diodes. I think there's a diagram of what to do in regards to that somewhere around here. I don't recall if a different type of double solenoid valve was included in the KoP last year, so my advice may be out of date.
