When we try to calibrate the bad ones, they just continue blinking yellow. They don't flash red/green/yellow like the good ones do. At first we thought it might've been our CIM motor somehow blowing it up, but we swapped a Victor out with another and it worked fine.

We are using AM Super Shifters, and pushed the robot maybe a maximum of 8-12 inches on the ground on low gear last night when we tried to get it driving. Could this have blown the speed controllers?

edit: Swapped a bad one out with another, and we have liftoff. Sure would be nice to know how it broke. The manual says the problem is "internal damage"- which could be anything.
