Re: Is Back EMF Safe for Victors?

Typically it seems that this is pretty safe, you can role a robot around, without disengaging the wheels, and not blow victors out. The board will light up, so there is definately some back feed. However, that said, I did have a victor die on me for an unexplained reason one time, and I'd always wondered if it did take too much back EMF, although it may have been something else. You're almost certainly safe though.
