Just for more data, what was the robot doing when the Victors blew? Driving along in a straight line? Turning? Is dynamic breaking on? Perhaps sudden speed reversals from one victor cause some huge voltage spike and it's leaking back to the right one, perhaps in reverse polarity? I don't know if thats even possible.

Perhaps replacing the other Victor that's lighting up could solve it.

This is just odd, Victors seem pretty sturdy. So its probably a big voltage spike or some how it's getting reverse polarity.

Do you plan on contacting IF? I suspect they would be very interested to hear about this...
