That's a non-no.

Good catch! Very big no no. You either need to get rid of a CIM motor on each side, or add additional speed controllers. If you decide to keep both CIM motors, you can either use a Y-PWM cable, which splits the signal (I believe these are provided in the KOP), or you can use additional PWM cables and reconfigure your Drive code to use 4-motors instead of 2-motors.

If you use the Y-PWM cable, there is no need to change your code.

Also, on topic, what documentation said to use the 5V output? Can you post a link?
