The concern was that code can only program one motor at a time (issuing CAN command to the Jaguar). So one motor will start a little earlier than the other one. So there is a short period that one motor would carry the whole load + turning the second motor at the same time. Probably not too much to worry but just like to hear your opinions on this.
