Re: Averaging one side with Encoders or two wheeled drive?

I believe the OP is saying that they are in the same, physical box, but driving two distinct gear trains. Actually, I know this to be the case since the gearboxes used were listed as AM Nano Tubes, of which six stock variations exist, all of which only accept one motor per gear train.
