If it were wired properly, it wouldn't be frying Victors repeatedly. Something is almost certainly not identical to the ones that work, and it's obviously something...um...unobvious.

Try powering up the robot with no Victor installed, and measuring the voltage on the wires that you intend to connect to the V+ and V- terminals. Also test the motor that you intend to connect to the M+ and M- terminals.
