Why does the number of motors need to be divisible by 4?

These types of drive are already very common. I think there's more room for creativity when you are forced to distribute 6 motors evenly, or use 3/4 motors more efficiently. And Z₃ symmetry presents another challenge compared to Z₄, since there are no proper subgroups.

Also 8 MiniCIMs would leave no room for additional 40A circuits, which wouldn't be fantastic if we need to do any heavy-lifting outside the drivetrain.
