    Post Connecting two CIM motors to one Victor

    Please clarify the following:

    Rule R56 states that... "Each power regulating device shall control one and only one electrical load (motor, actuator or compressor)."

    Yet Item number 31 of the 2008 Robotics Competition - Inspection Checklist states that:
    ...."Motors can only be driven by one Victor (although a Victor can drive more than more than 1 motor.)"

    We desire to connect 2 motors (mounted to drive one transmission) to one Victor. Can we?

    Thank you, Team 201

    There are no exceptions to Rule <R56>. Each speed controller or relay module can control only one motor, actuator or compressor.

    The rules contained in The Manual take precedence over all other documentation. Thank you for bringing the conflicting information in the Inspection Checklist to our attention. This error in the Inspection Checklist will be corrected in an upcoming revision.
