my old team had this problem last year and what it came down to was this.....even as motors are rated the same there is a slight difference in what voltage it takes to make the motors start. the solution to this problem was in software.....the software people wrote a program that went and increased voltage by very small increments until the exact voltage that started the motors was found. then they controlled the starting voltage given to each motor within the software.....I really can;t give you any more specifics but I can try and find out from my old team exactly how they did it and I'll post my findings.......Hope this helped a little
