The motors are very very small and geared down a bunch. They are about equal or smaller in size than the Johnson ones provided in the FRC kit. There is one motor and gear train per wheel and yes, they do sit inside the wheel on the suspension arm thingy.
Fascinating... I'd fire up Inventor and try to mount a drill motor in an aluminum wheel, but I think it'd be extremely difficult/impossible to shift gears. Humn... after I've sent these applications, I think I'll try... Kickoff is sooo close

No, we only have a NASA grant... but don't some NASA grant teams get JPL engineer mentors?:
