Re: how to wire the new two motor gearbox
I'm not sure about the rules but from a possiblity standpoint, it will work to use a PWM Y cable. A better (and definitely legal) way would be to use separates PWM cables and outputs on the robot controller, then duplicate the part of the programming that makes the one output work so you have the signla on both outputs.
