As to whether Andy is proposing putting 9.6V on the input side of the Victor or limiting it in software (via max. & min PWM outputs), I don't know how you could actually put 9.6V on the input side of the Victor within the rules of FIRST.

Limiting the PWM in software is just as effective as limiting the input power to the Victor as far as the motor is concerned. It has the added benefit of being within the rules as well. A PWM limit would be my mitigation choice.
