How do you sync multiple motors?
Our team is playing around with parts from last years robot and have been experimenting with multiple motors and 4 wheel drive but we need to synchronize the motors.

Is there an easy way to do this so that the motors on each side are running at the same speed?

We have one victor per motor and the victors per each side are sent the same PWM data. Is this just a matter of calibrating the victors?

Please advise

Thanks
