Go to Post Belts are a fine way of transferring power in a robot. Like chains, gears, drive shafts, viscous couplings or any other means of transmission they require some care and attention on you're part. But no one said this robot stuff was going to be a cake walk. - Andy A. [more]

It seems that the interrupts and encoders work on the First controller, but not the Vex. I'm not sure why.

I checked the datasheet of the Victor 884s and they're okay with 7.2V. I do have a second Vex battery just for the 884/motors.
