Victor 884 issue

To start with, we haven't used Victors for a few years... our competition robot was done entirely with Talons.

A couple of our students are working on a separate project, using a couple of old Victor 884's. We're getting some odd behavior from them, though... We can power them full reverse and stop, but we get no output if we try to go forward or use an other values. It's programmed with the Victor class.

Tonight, we tried swapping out one of the Victors for a Jaguar, with the only code change being to change the class from Victor to Jaguar... with that, we got full range of motion as expected.

We've quadruple-checked all the wiring, and it all looks like we expect. We've swapped the Victors for other Victors and get the same results.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how to fix it?
