If you meant to say it increases pushing ability at higher speeds, you'd be correct, but it definitely does not increase the top speed of the robot.
I really am getting into a bad habit of not thinking things through, sorry. I meant it gives the potential for a higher speed. More torque due to more motors leads to the ability to turn a higher gear ratio resulting in a higher output speed.

More motors does mean more torque, but if you aren't reaching stall torque to begin with, what is the point of adding more torque? It doesn't improve anything in said situation.
