Re: Victor 888 PWM Problems
Hey again!
After further investigation, we disassembled the Victor 888 and connected the Arduino directly into the sockets for the PWM connectors and it worked and turned a motor.
We confirmed this by reassembling the Victor and placing the PWM male cable as far into the socket as possible and tested the controller. This resulted in the flashing orange light. We then removed the shell of the Victor and placed the PWM male cable as far into the socket as possible again and tested the controller. This resulted in the controller detecting the PWM connection and spinning the motor.
With the shell removed from the controller, we tested the female socket to see where the PWM signal was not detected. The PWM signal was detected all throughout the female socket aside from being removed.
From our testing there is an issue with the shell interfering with the PWM connection with the motor controller.
Sorry for the double post, and hopefully other teams with the same problems see this!

Reason: Clarifying more information, explaining how we fixed it.
