jburstein is an unknown quantity at this point
what i want to know is how much advantage do you get by adding motors beyond 2 per side (if you're doing tank drive)? It seems to me that no matter how carefully you calculate your gearing there'll still be some variance in the actual motors (especially after a few rounds of competition) so won't they either wind up fighting each other, or one motor wind up pulling all the others behind it?
