Re: Neutral for joysticks isn't 127
 
It's not entirely a question of is it a bad thing to recalibrate the victor. You could actually lose power (voltage range) by calibrating them at an incorrect value. Recalibrating the victor is fixing the problem on the output, when the input is actually the culprit. Why not fix the input? The real problem.

Calibration of the speed controllers was only important on the early days of FIRST, particularly with the Tekens. Now with programmable control systems you can easilly correct the problem at the source: the trim of the joystick.

What specific things have been observed with the recal of Victors that is negative?
