Lalaland1125 is an unknown quantity at this point
Are we allowed to put a resistor on the robot

Our team has two 12V and two 24V solenoids, all of which we need to use.

We were thinking that we could power the 12V solenoids off the 24V solenoid breakout with a ~273 ohm resistor(from our math/measurements).
(We also tested with a 300 ohm resistor and it worked)

Is this legal for competition?

(We know that the "suggested" method is to use spikes, but if this is legal it would heavily cut down on the wiring, programming, space use, etc).
