Victors or Jaguars not connected to motors

Well we would prefer to just use a Jaguar, the Victor is only a backup if the Jaguar doesn't work. The Jaguars provide easy access to the encoder data, so it really just makes our wiring and primary control method easier.

Ah, ok. I understand now.

I cannot find any rule that would make this setup illegal, but I would probably ask the Q&A to be sure.

Last year my team's "ball magnet" mechanism powered by a victor never made it on our bot on thursday.
Our inspector did question the function of our fully wired victor with no output, but passed us nevertheless.
I think you should be fine.
