Precisely. We really ought to have some examples in WPIlib to do this.
I'd recommend against the Jaguar + Victor on one toughbox scenario. If you command e.g. 50% forward and hit free speed, you will have a motor/generator situation with potentially large currents. I don't believe it will destroy either controller, but it will be extremely inefficient.
