The velocity V is such that two  events one second apart across the length of L in F0 are  simultaneous in F1.  At the start of this scenario when the two motors are off, observers in F1 see that the two elastic bands wrap around each other 10 times just as it  is in F0.

Since one motor rotates 10 times before the other motor starts its rotation, the two bands as seen in F0 unwind their intertwining of 10 rotations that the elastic bands had when the motors were turned off (assuming the rotation direction unwinds the elastic bands). So in F0 the two elastic bands no longer intertwine and they become parall

If the rotations were started simultaneously in F1, do the F1 observers still say the two elastic bands are wrapped around each other 10 times?  If not, how do observers in F1 explain how the two elastic bands are now not wrapped around each other 10 times as they were when the rotations were started simultaneously in F1?

"elastic bands"????  wat is dat, british talk? You mean 'rubber bands'! Only queers say elastic bands...you ain't no steer from texsas.
