Re: Victor failure question--Can power from motors cause them?

I think it is entirely possible for a Victor to fail when pushing it. Although unlikely, it can, and has happened (to me). It is also common for Victors to stop working in one direction. Our 2005 robot had a Victor that was only working one way and it would go reverse crookedly because we had a 4 motor design. You may want to blow out the robot with air before you replace the Victors.
