12VDC power for Relay Shield OK?

The specs say 9VDC, but there appears to be a voltage regulator chip on the Relay Shield, so can I use 12VDC to power it?

I believe the voltage regulator is rated for 12Vdc, but it might get pretty toasty (hot) so you should monitor the temperature on it. Ideally you should supply less than 10V.
