That's a good question... adding an adapter and another motor will introduce more inefficiencies to the gearbox, but you'll have double the power. I've never used a setup like this, but 1 bag motor is close to the necessary power, so adding a second should give you a nice factor of safety. This will be nice especially given that you'll be climbing when your battery has been used for a whole match.
