Re: Running motors together to get more torque
If you are going to drive 2 worm gear (or other hard to backdrive) motors I suggest not direct driving them, instead us a belt or o-ring type drive where the tension can be set and a slip torque (slip clutch) can be put in. That way, should your ratio's be off enough that you need 1 motor to drive the other the whole system wont stall, it'll just slip a little.
