The are controlled on VEX robots by either directly plugging these into the 2-wire motor ports on the VEX Cortex controller, or by using the Motor Controller 29 (which functions just like a miniature Victor) plugged into a PWM port.

I see. The one we tested must have been an old one we had lying around from a VEX kit somewhere (it worked straight off the sidecar). Good to know these are different.
