Controlling the VEX 2-Wire Motor 393

First note that this is the about the 2012 legal motor, p/n 276-2177.

I would presume that this motor is controlled with this controller, but are there other options? i.e. Can this motor be controlled with a Victor 884 as well?

How does one step down the voltage from 12V to 7.2V that the motor is specc'ed for?

We have a spot that's perfect for this motor and I'd really like to use it since we have 100's of other VEX parts sitting around.
