The stock gearboxes are designed so that both drill motors will run the same way. On the other hand...if your using chips, I would recommend you get them running the same way. I listened to the good old "it's not a big difference"...but it became a very annoying problem on our robot this year. We would always drift right...making setting up autonomus to hit the tee ball a pain.
