Re: SERIOUS Issues With Keyangs, Bending/Twisting Drive Shafts

Dad and Cory,
The two rules contradict each other but the robot rulebook R91 is the one I would believe. I will suggest that the Tips be corrected. To my knowledge, two motors have never been allowed to connect to one controller. However two controllers can be fed with one PWM via a "Y" cord. Still, no two motors are alike and without internal feedback from motor to control system no two motor will ever run in sync. Production variations will make this impossible.
