The old victor 883's (from 2003, 2004) will still work after being powered through the motor output side. We did this with some controllers on last year's competition robot, and again in prototyping this year, and they all still worked, though we only powered them up for 10 or 15 seconds before realizing something was wrong. It's another reason why we love victors - they work for over a decade on multiple competition and practice robots!
