Is it against the rules to use last years red victor speed controllers on the robot this year to control the light?

No it is not. It talks about it somewhere in the rulebook.

If any team has an excessive number of victors or spikes, our team is in need of some more

You should be using a spike, not a speed controller.

In terms of difficulty, the Spikes are much easier to
program than the Victors (though neither is difficult,
really).

But... you have to use a Spike for the light, no
Victors allowed.

Guys,
Rulebook, (ref. robot1.pdf) p9. has the following info...
Due to their high current requirements, the drill motors, Fisher-Price motors, Globe motors, and van
door motors may only be powered by the Speed Controllers. The torque, seat, and window motors
may be powered by Speed Controllers or Relay Modules. Use only Relay Modules to drive the
rotating light, pump, and valves.
Hope this helps.
Al

Additional...
2.1.2 Rotating Light
A Relay Module must be used to power the rotating light provided in the kit. The light must turn on
when the robot is enabled and turn off when the robot is disabled. The control system will provide
this functionality automatically when a Relay Module is connected to relay output 8 on the Robot
Controller and the default program is running. Wire the light such that the black power lead is
connected to M- and the red power lead is connected to M+ on the Relay Module.
I am still looking for modification reference but I believe as last year, the rotating light is on the "do not modify" list.
