3. Make sure your Victors are fully complimented with the corresponding programming, Correct Pwm ports to correct Joysticks, and all power cables to each victor.

Note that since many teams do a lot of code between the joysticks and the victors (deadbands, scaling factors, etc), it's worth writing a program for your bot that does nothing but calibrate the Victors. Our team wrote one that automatically ramps all the pwm outputs between 0 and 254 unless a joystick button is pressed, at which point it drives all the pwms to 127. Very useful for calibrating.
Of course, if you didn't do anything to the Victors in the first place, they won't need this.
And if you are directly tying your operator inputs to the Victors, then the listed procedure with the joystick is defintely the way to go.
