Re: For the love of CIMs (A question about CIMs and gearboxes)

Gearboxes with 4 to 6 motors really only seem useful for swerve drives, or at least that's what it sounds like to me. I was wondering though, has anyone in FIRST ever built an adder-subtractor drive like tanks use? This would also have the potential to use many otors in one gearbox. I'm honestly not sure if it would have many benefits, but it would be a cool challenge.
