Go to Post Honestly, just when I thought FIRST had finally created an FRC game without any near universally-hated rules, they went ahead and made one in TM 1. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: help needed with Spike relay

If you take a look at the table in the manual, you'll see that the am-0912 can NOT be powered by a spike relay. It's got nothing to do with your wiring or your programming, it's simply that it can't be run off of only 20a current.
Zmarken is correct about the rule, but something else is wrong here, because wiring this motor to a Spike with a 20A fuse should work just fine. We re-did our frisbee shooter using this same configuration, and it works fine ("Demonstration Mode" now!)

A Banebots 390 has about the same rpm - but is lower torque...the 395 is a bit faster...still lower torque though. Both can be run from a Spike legally this year.
