WPI_RobotDriveOpen2MotorWithVictorSP.vi opens Talons?

I'm not asking for help, just some clarification.

I was looking at the Open2Motor .vis just to see how they worked and I noticed for whatever reason the VictorSP vi opens Talons. Do you think this would be causing any problems? I can fix it by opening Victor SP motors and making a drive out of existing motors, but I'd like to know why it's even like this in the first place, if it's not just an oversight.

Looks like an oversight. The diagram of the two VIs use identical PWM specification. The only functional difference is that the usage reporting will record the wrong motor controller in use.

I have entered a bug report, so we fix this in the future.
