WPI Lib Relay class - individual line control

Relay m_relay2(1, RElay::kReverseOnly);

And then we can control each line relay individually.

This will cause an exception because relay 1 will be allocated twice.

m_relay.SetDirection(Relay::kReverseOnly); // access 2nd line
m_relay.Set(Relay::kOn); // set On or Off 2nd line....

Sorry last coding I did was on an RC

With this code, whenever the relay is set to ForwardOnly, the reverse will be off, and vice versa.
