Now, my only questions are:

-Will the tranmission handle the torque? I think so... we've seen the Fisher-Price and drill motor go through the drill motor tranmission without a problem... the input torque shouldn't be much higher in this case.
-Will we pop the breakers too much? The dual-motor assembly claimed to not trip breakers because the current was distributed among a number of breakers... BUT the Chiaphua motor has a stall current of roughly double that of the Fisher-Price. Of course, the output of the Chiaphua could always be toned-down in the pBASIC code...

Warning: This is *NOT* my area of expertise... can somone with more know-how in this matter comment on the viability of this idea? 8)
Since the chip motors have about the same torque as the drill motors AFTER GEARING THEM UP, I suspect it might be really pushing things to run both a drill and a chip motor through the drill gear boxes. It might handle it, but...

We ran tandemed drill and Fisher Price motors through the transmissions last year with no problems, but the chip motors are a lot more potent than the F/P motors. If you do the Chip and drill motors through the transmissions, let us all know how it goes. It would be an awesome setup if nothing breaks.
