EDIT: Looking at it again, you just need a "PWM signal driver" to run a Victor off of standard RC controls. IFI sells them for $15.
Yeah I saw that. So with the PWM driver can you use any Victor with an RC receiver or only the 24V Victor?

PS. I so wish FIRST would upgrade to a 24 Volt system. Of course we would need all different motors. But with the kind of current some bots are drawing these days, it would be nice to have the higher voltage.

EDIT: And those Teken Rebels were great little speed controls. I don't know how well they held up in robots but they worked great in RC cars. Too bad Teken went out of business and their products are now almost forgotten.

A good question for this thread would be: What control systems etc did they have way back in 92 and the other early years?
