2 motors on 1 Andy Mark transmission

During last year's competition I saw a few teams use 2 motors on 1 Andy Mark transmission and their bots were fast and a couple of them were only 2 wheel drive....

What is the benefit of using 2 motors on 1 Andy Mark transmission?

Does this allow a higher gear ratio without popping the circuit breakers?

Is it better for pushing and torque or climbing with the right type of wheels?

Do issues arise with thie configuration if each of the two motors has a slightly different output speed per the PWM output fed to them or is this balanced out in some way?

If you used this type of configuration on your robot last year, what was your rationale?

Thanks
