pg71 || spike h-bridge or talon?

Can you use either or is the talon illegal as I've seen in other areas? I assume 14awg is fine with a 20 amp relay. Does that sound right? I see it peaks at 22, this wont have any load on it.

Re: pg71 || spike h-bridge or talon?

Depends on what you want to do with it. I assume by PG-71 you mean the AndyMark 0912 motor (colloquially referred to as a AM Gearmotor). As per Rule R52, you can run the motor on either a Talon or a Spike. However, if you want to have any sort of control over the motor I would suggest a Talon, as a Spike is purely a relay with the ability to either turn the motor on or turn the motor off.
