I like the idea, but it seems kind of inefficient to me. Doesn't the power from only one of the two CIMs actually power the wheels?

 From what I understood you only get the power of two motors when you go on the fastest speed. I think this is a gearbox with many "speeds" for the robot. However when you go at low speeds you don't get much torque, since one CIM is working against the other one.
I think the one that 217 made before was actually using the full potential of the motors to get max torque at every speed.
Someone please correct me if i am wrong.
