So you parallel motors on the same port to do different things? As opposed to
using a single motor mechanically coupled to different things? Is this as a
result of a single motor not being powerful enough? Or because the two
paralleled motors are moving with respect to each other so mechanical
distribution from a single more powerful motor wouldn't do it?
