I hooked up the Dashboard Viewer from Innovation First to see the data coming from the OI. The Y-Axis from all 4 ports read 254. The same goes for the Wheel. When I unplugged each port the number dropped to 127.

I replaced the OI with a spare from last year's competition. This time, the Dashboard numbers looked correct. When I moved the joysticks, the numbers went up and down like they should. So, I've isolated the symptoms to a faulty OI.

Now, the only problem is that the Port 1 Wheel is stuck at 120. I've swapped joysticks and the problem follows the port, not the joystick. Since the Victor's sensitivity is tied to the Port 1 Wheel then our robot will always be stuck in 'low sensitivity'.

Joe, can you change the user code so that the Wheel2 adjusts the Throttle for Y1 and Y2? I understand that you don't want to start writing code for each team, but I am willing to take the risk at this point. There is not enough time to get the OI repaired and still practice.

Thanks,
Jason

P.S.: To all other teams, I would check your OI using the Dashboard viewer to make sure that Wheel1 is maxing out. You can get the program from the link below. This might be the same problem that another team was seeing with their motors going much slower with the Victors.
