From the caption of the picture, Tytus alluded to gearing down the Bosch by a further 4:1. This is why I wasn't sure what was meant by overpowering--the speeds are already matched, though he hasn't drawn this in yet. This is also why I believe the differential to be redundant--the motors should be sufficiently synchronized without having to resort to a differential assembly.
