Re: Motor Controllers

Or you could buy more controllers, given that you have the budget.

Spikes are on/off. They'd work best for something like the bridge pusher. You could also use them on the elevator.

Victors are variable speed, similar to the Jaguars. That's what I'd probably be using on the shooter.

PWMs control the motor controllers.
