Re: Using dual motors in Chain-Drivesystem
We use to put the motors like this

But we found out it has been better to put both chips together and both drills together. With a track system the robot goes pretty straight. But the power is at it's best becuase you do want the drill motors to be going in the different directions. there is a different between forward and backward in the drill motors.
