Matt,
All Victors have to be calibrated. If you don't calibrate, the the victor doesn't respond correctly to your software and joysticks. It is an easy thing to do. I recommend pulling all breakers except the RC and the controller that your are calibrating when you follow the procedure. (This is a safety thing for me.)
This year more than ever calibrating controllers is important. Since there is no joystick to read and convert during autonomous mode, the controller needs to know what full scale forward and reverse is.

P.S. The controller stores all the values you calibrate when you release the cal button. You have to hold it down until calibration is complete.
