Where can I find info about it?
Should I use a SPIKE or Victor to control it?
Please reply as fast as U can!!! :ahh:
If you just want to turn it on and off and don't want to control the speed it's running at, you can use a spike. Otherwise you want to use a Victor.

So if I use a Victor what "amps" should I use for it?

See section 5.3.9 of the manual. There are wiring and fusing guidelines there.

The FIRST Robotics (http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/) manual (http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005/frcdocs.htm)/handbook/guide for this year (2005)
Here's a link to section 5. (http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Section_5-The_Robot.pdf ) Scroll down until you see 5.3.9.

Just so you know, the one you posted the picture of is the Jideco motor. The Nippon Denso is the black one.
