Go to Post Build a student a robot and it will keep him/her busy for a few days in the spring. Teach a student how to build(design, wire, program) a robot and they will stay away from home, use some really strange language and wear funny clothes the whole year long. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

Re: KoP component that acts as a double throw switch

FRC,
You should do some investigation into pullup resistors. The input circuit of the Spike is a opto isolator so a pullup to 5 volts (or 12) would set the relay in one direction and a short to the common terminal would turn off the opto isolator and set the Spike for the other direction.
