Gear them to match speed--run in the correct direction

The drill motors are about 20,000 rpm no load and the FP's are about 15,000. Ideally, these motors should probably be geared to have their rpm in that proportion. They are close enough, though, that we had no problem with them running the same rpm. Just make sure they are connected to run in the correct direction to not 'fight' each other.
