Running Two Separate Solenoids off of one Spike

Hello from Team 253,

We are wondering if we can run two solenoids off of one single spike. That is it, thank you.

Re: Running Two Separate Solenoids off of one Spike

Yes, you can, see the note after the table in rule R51:
Quote:
*Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves, electric solenoids or CUSTOM CIRCUITS may be connected to a single relay module. This would allow one (1) relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple CUSTOM CIRCUITS. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner.

from the Game Manual:

Quote:
4.8.21 R51

Each power regulating device may control electrical loads per Table 4-4. Unless otherwise noted, each power
regulating device may control one and only one electrical load.

Table 4-4: Legal Power Regulating Device Use

Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves, electric solenoids or CUSTOM CIRCUITS may be connected to a single
relay module
. This would allow one (1) relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple CUSTOM
CIRCUITS. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner.
