Re: Questions regarding motors and controllers

1. You can run any of the motors in the kit off a Victor or Jaguar if you want to, as long as you only run 1 motor off of each one.

2. As many as you need (they must be documented on the Bill of Materials and fall under your total cost limit).

3. You can use whatever input devices you like as long as they are powered by the DS. The DS has 4 USB ports so this is the major limitation on joystick usage, it is possible to wire joysticks to the analog inputs but this would take some work.
