cant add or subtract a process. when i try to the motors just spin in one

the most efficient (for BEAM) small motors you will ever find.
Dont trust everything you read. The most common Mabucci motors are
very poor indeed, but their higher quality motors are excellent.
The motor will draw more current at higher voltages, not less. Try them out!
