It sounds like they're waaaaaaaay out of calibration, or your code is whacked out. I'd suspect code first.
What are you using to program the robot? I'd use a printf() (or the equivalent for your programming language) to dump out what commands you're issuing the Victors in code to make sure it's doing what you want. If it is, then try calibrating them.
Out of curiousity, what are the lights on the Victors doing as this occurs?

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
