32u4 voltage divider

I’m working on a 32u4 robot. I wanted to get more power to the motors, so I snipped the A=VBAT/2 connector. Before I did this I measured the voltage across the batteries at 5.6V, and measured the voltage across the motors while running at about 2.8V. After I snipped the connector both of the voltages remained the same. I also increased VBAT to about 7V and the voltage across the motors measured ~3.5V. Shouldn’t I be seeing more voltage across the motors while their running after snipping this connector?
