If you'll read the explanation I provided at the end of my post, you'll see that, assuming I've done this correctly, the math shows that what you're doing is actually less powerful than using a single motor.

It will work, yes, but it will be completely unnecessary and act as a burden! Something working on a computer is meaningless if you're not using some hefty software to run your analysis. It looks like you're using 3D Studio MAX. That's not in the same ballpark by any stretch.

The Lego version will work, but again, you're actually outputting less torque than you're inputting on a single side. The second motor/finger/whichever is dragging on the system.

There's no need to scream. I'm sorry I wasted my time trying to explain what's actually happening here. I'll remember that for the next time.
