Go to Post So your gearbox failed, and your first course of action was to post about it CD? This is an interesting failure recovery plan. :) - JVN [more]

Yes, but picture this:
We use a drill and an atwood to power each track of our robot. Those joysticks have some travel issues (eg. sometimes full forward is 254. Now center it back and put it forward again. You may get something like 240) and it wouldn't be nice to have the motors carefully set to the same speed with gearboxes and see everything fail because a victor ain't sending the same signal to each motor. That's why we calibrate FOUR victors (two for each side) at a time - we need many hands, though
