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.

It doesn't seem to me that I can drive the design I want with cd motors.
I was planning to get some time with our mill and mill some plexi out in the form of two circles, one on top of each other and everything else wedged inside of there like a sandwich.
PLUS, I wouldn't know where to start with gearring a cd motor
.
If I can find some good motors on amazon and get them shipped with prime, I could have an amazing weekend ahead of me. Besides the fact that there is a robotics meeting this weekend.
