Replacement for spikes

[SuperBK]

What have teams been using for a replacement for Spikes? We are down to our last few without cannibalizing old robots and they aren't manufactured any longer. Sometimes we just need to control a small motor, or turn on some lights.

Thanks,
Brian

Probably not exactly what you're looking for but the Rev Spark is a relatively inexpensive motor controller. With the PCM and cheaper motor controllers, Spikes have essentially become obsolete.

Not manufactured but in stock while they last.

Currently 274 left in stock, get em while you still can!

(but yea, for $10 more and free shipping I would go with the Spark)

Depending on the lights, you could use the solenoid module.
