All our motors are weak (low voltage)

I've got much more out of FIRST ever since I stopped and realized I can gain so much more from trying to improve my current team's situation rather than complain about teams who have more. - AdamHeard [more]

All our motors are weak (low voltage)

We have quite a few motors on our robot and they all have the same problem. We noticed they seemed weak, so we put a multimeter on them. They're cycling 5-7-9 volts, never getting to the full 12. However if we bypass the Jags & Victors the motors run much stronger and we measure 12 volts.

What could cause this issue in Labview?
