Actually dboisvert, I suspect that tomy's writing his code based off the simple robot class, which doesn't use pointers, but creates objects directly. For that the syntax would be*:

Victor vicShoulder;

Then at the robot constructor:

RobotClassName():
vicShoulder(slotNum, portNum)
{
...

And then to use it:

vicShoulder.Set(speed);

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, especially tomy if this isn't how you're attempting to run the Victor.

I agree on your other points though. I don't know how many times I've forgotten to turn off a motor, or how many times I've poured through my code only to discover an electrical failure was the problem.

Also agree with theprgramerdude, more code = more help.
