1 motor for bridge device

Thats 10 (I might be missing one because I remember the number 11).

We placed bets to see which would burn out first. We NEVER changed one.

no problems, with so many motors. most were even running the whole time, and many under ALOT of wieght
That's so interesting, because for some reason our robot would always kill one motor even though we were only running 7-8 at one time
