Re: Fisher Price

Not necessarily. While it is true that operating one backwards could cause the wiring bias of the Fisher Price motors to cause problems, as long as they are physically spinning the same direction they should be fine. Look at all the teams with four CIM's in their drivetrain, I don't think they have independent control of each of them. Or those who have a CIM and a F-P, they don't need independent control either. As long as they are both going the same direction and geared the same, they will be fine.
