Using other solenoids with the solenoid breakout board

This year we are at long last allowed to use solenoid linear actuators. However, are we allowed to power them via the Solenoid breakout?

Re: Using other solenoids with the solenoid breakout board

See R52, in the Table 4-4 Legal Power Regulating Device Use.
Electric solenoids can be powered by either a Spike or the solenoid breakout.

Just be careful of overloading the solenoid breakout
Quote:
R70
Outputs from each Solenoid Breakout shall not cumulatively exceed 16W for the cRIO-FRC (8-slot) and 21W for the
cRIO-FRC II (4-slot).
