Re: Failed Benchtop test

did you use the victors, that you are ussing, in prevouis years. The last 2 years we had to reset the victors before they would work for us. To reset:
(1)make sure all power is off, so either diconnect the battery or manualy trip the main circuit breaker.
(2) ther is a little hole on the victors, there is a little switch inside. get something small that can fit in the hole.
(3) hold the switch down, and while still holding it down, turn on the power. the victor light should be a solid color.
(4)keep holding down the button in tell it starts flashing.
(5)to test if it worked: turn on and connect the driver station and the light on the victor should be a solid yellow when everything else is set up right.

PS: make susre you have the pwm cables pluged in the rght direction. The white part of the cable should be plugged into the signal side of the port.
