CD drive motors aren't good motors? News to me. Gear 'em right and they'll be pretty darn good. (Trust me on this. ONE CD drive motor geared down a little bit can get a 52-second time over a 20' course. That was at about 1/3 speed.)

I think a kiwi drive is a decent option for some offseason programming. It's a challenge, but there is some code around, I think, that can help you figure out
what you need to know.
