Re: Can Victor and Jaguar motors work together on a single gearbox?

To conclude:
Different controllers is not recommended, but if needed can be used. The only negative result may be that one motor works harder than the other and will get hotter.

On a related topic: what do people think are the issues with using different motors on the same gearbox (with same controllers). Eg. A CIM and a mini-CIM? My gut level tells me that is perfectly fine, but a soon-to-be Mech Engineer told me that there will be a "torque fight" and that we should adjust each motors' power via a lookup table that we should develop by actual measurements of each of the motors.
