1) Do not drive two motors from one Victor, it is specifically against the rules.
Code:
<R62> All electrical loads (motors, actuators, compressors) must be controlled by relay or PWM
output signals sent by the Robot Controller to an appropriate power regulating device
Each CIM motor and Fisher-Price motors must be connected to one Victor speed
controller.
2)You may drive two Victors, and therefore two motors, from one PWM output by using a Y cable. Driving two wheels from one transmission is quite common as is one wheel from each transmission. You may also want to calibrate your Victors, it may help keep them in sync.
