Regarding Spike Relay Module

Are the Spike Relay Modules allowed to control the window motors?
Besides the air compressor what other motors may the Spike control?
Is there a maximum number of Spikes allowed on the robot?

Re: Regarding Spike Relay Module
1 - Yes.
2 - Under Rule <R55>, any motor other than the CIM motor and Fisher-Price motor may be controlled by either a relay module or a speed controller.
3 - While there is no rule that explicitly addresses this, by our calculations the maximum number of Spikes that can be contained within the NORMAL CONFIGURATION volume/weight constraints is 883. However, it is noted that the budget limitations of Rule <R22> would limit you to no more than 102 Spikes on a single ROBOT.
