Coaxial Swerve Derivation with Paired Modules

On a single centralized turning gearbox, it might not be a problem, but if you want to turn the modules quickly then you would want more than 1 turning motor there.

I still don't buy it. Even if you somehow manage to allocate 6 cims and 4 turning motors (say Banebots), you still have 4 Minicims/Bags, and 4 AM 9015's, in addition to many other motors of decreasing value.

Get back to me when you find a need for 18 motors.
