Question CIM programming question
Hi,

Our robot design this year uses two transmissions with two motors in each tran for driving (all motors are CIMs). Each CIM is driven by a separate Victor. If the motors go at different speeds, we would obviously break the transmission. How do we ensure that both CIMs on one side go at the same speed? Does RobotDrive take care of this automatically? Or is there some way to treat 2 Victors as one? Any help is appreciated. We are using Java and WPILib to program the bot.

Thanks,
Defen3585
