    From some much smarter folks than I. I have been gifted these two motors for very cheap, I'm curious if I will be able to use two different motors for a 2dof. And the next question would be, seeing as these are truck wiper motors, I'm assuming I'll have to open them up and snip a wire so they don't get messed up? Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance. The other parts are on the way from the internet people, so if I can't get them to work I'll probly end up buying a match to one of them.
