Is it legal? No
Will it work? NO...the internal electronics of the speed controller cause a pulsing power stream to be sent to the robot(i.e., not 6v, but 12v half the time - it's been discussed here before)...there is no way for this power pulse to be syncronized between the two speed controllers, so catastrophic failure of one or both controllers, and perhaps the motor, will result if you try this...
