So you parallel motors on the same port to do different things? As opposed to

paralleled motors are moving with respect to each other so mechanical
distribution from a single more powerful motor wouldn't do it?

Or they are far enough apart or in a difficult arrangement so that a mechanical
link is impractical. (eg: moving WRT each other.)


Right.  You cant always do things mechanically as it would complicate the design
and might be too far apart.  Also, sometimes a single motor doesnt have enough
power, so doubling it up helps....
