I would really try resetting the Victors back to the factory default and then see what happens assuming the Victors will respond to the default function as indicated in User manual.

That concern is very easily handled.
Download the default code and calibrate with that.
The same goes for testing the factory default. It should be tested with default code.
P.S. - to the students-
As a general rule troubleshoot one thing at a time.
Start from a known good position and advance into the problem step by step.
The default code and example code are known good starting points. The factory code defaults if you will.
Verify that the wiring is correct and responds properly to the default or example code before suspecting a code problem.
You immediately cut the list of possible problems in half - software vs hardware.
If your code worked and several things then changed and the robot no longer works, then reverse your changes to get back to a working state and re-introduce the suspect changes one-at-a-time, testing at each step.
