not a chance in hell. this drive is 1 way only(cim to wheels). Trying to go the other way will be met with extreme resistance and would cause something to break if you actually could turn the wheel. But in our case this is actually a desired trait. It allows us perfect control of motor speeds at all times and provides extreme braking when someone else is trying to push is around when we don't want them to(providing the wheels grant enough traction)
