since the additional parts list allows more speed controllers to be used with motors, can we use four fisher-price gearmotors or four drill motors on our bot. Also if only the motors in the kit are only ones we can use ,can we use say four fisher-price gearboxes, two of which would use the fisher-price motors and the other use two drill motors

No, you can only use whatever is in the kit, anything from small parts, or whatever is on the additional hardware list. Since there are only two set of fisherprice motor and gear box in the kit, you are limited to those two.
