Re: Victor Burnouts

Al,
I can't remember the team number, but I will see if anyone else does.

PS: Are FETs sensitive to polarization? I think they are, but I don't want to make false assertions. IFI Robotics has a notice on the vics page that says:
Quote:
Do not reverse the input polarity on a Victor. Doing this will permanently damage the unit and void the warranty.
Is it such a jump to say that using an output as an input would have much the same affect?

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
