I'm a big fan of these "junkie" motor gear boxes. I'm happy to see
from a previous post that they are available on line (I'm getting too
old to dumpster dive).

I think they would be well suited for a configuration I saw at FIRST
championships presented by the CIA. Ya, those guys. It would be
perfect for a Robo Magellon. I'll bring my pictures to the next
meeting for a show and tell.

I have four sets of them. Need a set?

Two FP motors with 6" wheels can move a 100lb robot about 3mph at top speed.
Depending on your battery figure about 1/2 hour at top speed, so certainly
enough for robomagellan.
