Does anyone have alternitive views on a better choice for a dual motor transmission?

Define "better".
Single speed or multiple speed?
CIM or other motor?
Durability criteria?
Weight?
What does it need to attach to and how?
Any multi-motor gearbox on AndyMark will pass just about any FRC-type durability test. Most run with CIMs, but some run with others, or adapt other motors to mount like CIMs. Some are single speed, some are multiple speed, some can be stacked to get a higher gear ratio.
