I am messing around with this idea hoping to get the gear ratio I want (2:5). I
currently have 16t on the motors driving 40t on the drive axle. I haven't come
up with a good way to incorporate the differential and additonal motors while
maintaining this gear ratio. I guess I will keep playing with it.
