I will have to check the rules, but it used to be
specifically allowed for SOME motors.

Basically, it was allowed for the seat motors and the
window motors (if memory serves).

From taking to Eric at FIRST, the idea was the the
stall current of these motors was sufficiently small
that it was not a burden on the Victors.

We are not running motors these in parallel this year
so I have not bothered to look up whether it is legal
this year. I can tell you that for these smaller
motors it was no problem at all for the Victors to
drive them in parallel. As to it being legal, I will
have to read the rules more carefully.

Anybody else got there book handy? Mine is at work.
