Re: can we do it?

As others have said, it's against the rules and will likely blow out the switch. Check out page 5 here (it is the catalog page for the switch provided in the KoP):

The switch is rated at 5A, 30V DC. Go above that, and you will burn it out sooner or later (given how these things go... mostly like on the field, in the finals ).
