[FTC]: Multiple DC controllers.

In FTC, are we allowed to have multiple DC controllers on one robot? It says that you can have up to 8 motors, but as multiple motors can be run in parallel, we are not quite sure how many (DC) motor controllers one can have on the robot.

Edit:: We do not want to run in parallel, as we want the extra motors to drive independently.

Yes, you can have more than one DC Motor Controller on the robot.
