-The relay contacts (SPDT) are intended to be used to disable the vehicle propulsion system when activitated. Connect these contacts to your motor controller or engine controller. Directly switching the ignition coil primary winding is not permitted because it generates strong EMI emissions which may lead to On-Board Computer malfunction. Wiring your relay in series with the E-Stop is not permitted as well. +The relay contacts (SPDT) are intended to be used to disable the vehicle propulsion system when activitated.

 There are several options for connecting the shutdown relay. Teams should choose ONLY one option to implement. Other methods will be accepted as long as the drive system is disabled when the relay is activated There are several options for connecting the shutdown relay.
