We had no problems with the victors (or fuses) at all this year. On the other hand, our driving was done with 2 drills, the bosch gearbox and a 2wd setup - According to what I've been told, that setup puts a fraction of the strain 4wd and 6wd bots on the motors. We ran the same 2 motors for almost our entire build season, the sacramento regionals (9 seeding rounds, and a few quarterfinals), and the practice day at atlanta. We saw the bot was moving slower than usual, and the driver said it was reacting slower. We had 4 extra drills in boxes, and they didnt take too long to swap.
We had spare victors ready to go, because we were told (and read on CD) about the magic smoke. Hopefully innovationfirst doesnt change them for the 2005 season .. and we can use the spares if we need to
