Is it okay to run one motor in a two motor transmission?
More specifically, say I have this two motor transmission, and for some reason (not significant to this topic) I want to only run one motor and not pull out the other -- only running one of the two motors. Is this safe to do? Am I going to melt wires? victors? motors? the robot?

Or what if I didn't enable the back-EMF in the victors, or even put a spike in between the victors and motors, and had that spike set to off? will that make it resonable safe?

Thanks,
-Jonathan
