Using 2 motors in one toughbox
Our team has put together 2 CIM motors into the andymark toughbox, what we're wondering is if we should be connecting them both to 1 victor or 2?

The rules state that you need 1 victor per CIM

Re: Using 2 motors in one toughbox
Each one has to be driven through it's own victor. so you'll need 2 speed controllers for each two motor transmission

Re: Using 2 motors in one toughbox
You can use a "Y" PWM cable to drive both Victors from the same PWM port on your Robot Controller.
