I was testing with servos controlled by a Victor class and noticed that I wasn't getting full range on the output. That got me digging through the source of the library (an excellent reason for open source code) and noticed the output limits based on empirical data as well.

Any idea why they chose to limit to the default factory values instead of letting the full range out and using the manual calibration of the Victors like years past? If a veteran team pulls Victors from a previous year's robot, they're going to have problems if their Victor is calibrated (as Eric has already found out)
Alan, you mentioned setting the factory defaults for the Victor. What's the procedure for that for teams that don't want to mess with SetBounds()?
The version that finished nationals was about 50% aluminum and 50% the original PVC and we never had any member break. (structural member, not team member). - Gary Dillard [more]
