Re: 4 motors, 2 motor controllers?

Question: if you are using the KOP tough box mini and both the motors on one sides are linked together by the PWM splitter, won't they be turning in the same direction? Because the gearbox needs one clockwise and the other counterclockwise in order to work? I assume I am missing something as lots of teams must use them...
