One thing you might also want to look into is gearboxes from power wheels type toys like the fisher-price gearbox. I believe that 1114 had great success in using different gears from those gearboxes to quickly make custom gearboxes for their robot this year. I did some hunting in the past and found a couple that use the 775 can motors I never bought any to test but this could be a interesting option and they were under $30.
It looks like I found something great! http://kamocat.com/robot/planetary.php

This site has a comprehensive drill gearbox modification how to.
