I agree that for
most applications this is the case, but remember, there is always an exception. I think that it is better to say that for the FIRST robotics application, it is recommended that the Victors be calibrated as you outlined above.
However, I don't think it hurts to perform a callibration once a year. You never know what that Victor's been through. Better to be safe than sorry.
