Re: Running motors together to get more torque

There's no reason you can't do this. It can be done programmatically or by splitting the PWM signal using a Y-cable.

The only criticism I have of this plan is that two motors can get a bit heavy. If you can get the right balance of speed and torque through gearing or with a different motor, it might be lighter. This also frees up your other ND motor for another part.

Keep in mind, of course, that next year's kit might not even have these motors.
