Re: Victor 884 won't go forward

We've pushed our robot on the ground and spun the motors sometimes generating enough current and voltage to make all the lights come on and the fans spin. So, I know the electronics can tolerate a little bit of this. But a whole matches worth I guess not.

So my two questions:
Is is really bad to backdrive motors in turning them into generators in the FRC electrical system and why?
How long can you do this for without causing any damage?
