Re: Can Victor and Jaguar motors work together on a single gearbox?

The Victors, Jaguars, and Talons all have different response curves - meaning if you told them all to go the same speed in the code, the actual results would be a little different. Thus, it's not recommended that you use different speed controllers with the same gear box. Also, for good control of your robot I would make sure all the speed controllers on the drive train are the same!
