Re: How do you sync multiple motors?

If the motors that are on the same side are of the same type, and you are feeding them the same PWM values (you could use a Y-cable from a single PWM output to make sure of this), and your Victors are both calibrated properly, then any difference between the speeds of the motors can be considered negligible and won't have an impact on performance.

Clarification edit: This answer is assuming the original question is about synchronizing the speeds two motors on the same side of the robot.
