Re: Alternate robot controllers?

I'm not sure how your system will work, but if you're using Spike relays, the RobotOpen cannot drive the Relay ports on the sidecar, and driving them directly off the Arduino is iffy in terms of currrent draw (and a pain to wire). It worked great for us on a motors-only robot, but it didn't work on a robot with solenoids and relays.
