Then you have already lost, because that's what this gearbox is actually designed to do. Such a design does give benefits over using 2 motors in a spur gear configuration, but if you implement it incorrectly, it will give you less benefits.

In using the output shafts as inputs, one shaft is designed to react off the other. This is why the stall torque of such a system is twice that of the weakest motor. Once the stronger motor attempts to exert more torque, it will overpower the weaker motor, causing it to have negative speed, as Joe mentioned.

Do not fool yourself into thinking such a design is exempt from the rules of a standard 2 motor drive system.

You seem to think that you can defy the laws of Physics with this gearbox. You cannot produce more output power than the sum of the individual motors.
