The same is true of the Pneumatic Control Module -- if you want to use more than one of them, the "extras" can get battery power from the PDP's Wago connectors. That's what the Beta Test teams have been told to do with the old PCM when we receive the new "tougher" ones.

This is good. I was only slightly concerned since it seems when FIRST has a dedicated output they expect that there would be only one of that powered item and would have to be powered only from there. I think it would be wiser to put the PCM and such on the Wago fused connectors since those use Snap Action circuit breakers and would reset when tripped and not just burn out the automotive fuse keeping those systems non power for the rest of a match.
