Re: Victors not synchronized - dual motor train
We didn't try them separately no, it didn't seem logical, we want them to be in perfect synchronicity and our joysticks aren't that good with that, so for us the logical solution is simultaneously calibrating them, I've found its very easy to do with multimeter probes in the calibration pinholes. But we only had two, but two people, three probes, not so hard, then just move one joystick forward/backward/etc repeat with the other side. It's not very difficult.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
