Instead of trying to connect two motors to the same axle using the crown
gears, why not attach the two motors to the same axle using axle
connectors.  This would avoid the slipping problem that you mentioned and
should have less frictional losses than the backwards differential solution.
I might try that to see, but as I said in the other post, that
differential force will still be there, which offends my sensibilities
:-) Still, it'd be worth a try to find out.

(...) It's true that using the differential provides a kind of niftyness. And that can be an important feature of Lego models, even if you're not actually gaining anything. (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
