I will be sending a note to the teacher tomorrow!

Greg,
By 'standardized' I only meant (and I'm guessing here) that all teams use identical vehicle controllers and that internal modifications to the controller are not permitted. I'm also guessing that each DCM-104 motor's terminals get connected directly to a pair of terminals on the vehicle controller that are dedicated to that purpose.
Let us know what you find out from the teacher, and I'm sure some of us here on the ChiefDelphi forum will try to help.
Good luck,

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
