6-Motor Drivetrain?

I really hope this wasn't already posted. I checked so...here goes.

Did anyone use a gearbox last year that was configured to use 3 motors? Essentially creating a six-motor drivetrain?
The mentor from our team remembers seeing someone with this setup, and we're trying to figure out if it would work.

How well does it work? Would it be a noticeable enough improvement over a two-motor gearbox to make it worth the extra effort?

Does anyone know of any suppliers (Andymark, Banebots, IFI, etc) that offer a configuration like this?


Oh, and uh...shaft.
