RAIV (Redundant Array of Independent Victors)

This is an idea I've been kicking around for some time. I am basically using the idea of a RAID 5 and replacing the drives with victors. The idea here is that when a victor fails, and we have had quite a few fail during competitions, the RC will acknowledge this and a spare victor will automatically take over the role of the broken victor. I figure if I use motor voltage sensors to monitor the voltage which each victor is outputting and compare that against the voltage which the victors are supposed to outputting, I can catch a failure in a victor. The only area I am skeptical is with wiring the secondary system of victors which will be acting as the "hot swaps". I am just curious to see what you guys think of this idea.
