Give this a shot:

void SpecialControl(SpeedController *Motor); /* prototype */
class Robot : public SimpleRobot
{
	Victor *InitialMotor;
	public:
		Robot(void)
	        {
                       InitialMotor = new Victor(1);
		       GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(0.1);
	        }


                void OperatorControl(void)
	        {
		     GetWatchdog().SetEnabled(true);
		     SpecialControl(InitialMotor);
	        }
};

void SpecialControl(SpeedController *Motor)
{
	Motor->Set(1);
}
