Re: Motors Don't Run
Because of the shoulder on the Victor its very hard to tell if all the pins from the PWM Cable seat all the way in and the only way to find that out is to turn on the robot and see if anything moves. Like many said you could remove the shoulder or enough of it so that you can see what your doing and just clean up any plastics bits. Everyone makes mistakes so double check the wiring you may have attached everything on the Victor backwards. The wiring should look like the attached image. If anything try using one of last years Victors and see if you get the same problem to rule out a defective Victor.
