Andrew,
When you say "short through the case" what do you mean? Did you have motor wiring accidentally shorted to the robot frame? If that is the case and you had the motors running in opposite directions I can see how that resulted in the failure. Did the Victor that failed have shorter power wiring feeding it than the one that survived?
