Hey, cool!
Sounds cool!

First of all, I'm curious as to why you are using the Fisher-Price and drills instead of the CIM and drill.

The way our team has done it is we have taken the slowest motor (in this case, the drill with high speed transmission @ 1500 RPM) and matched the faster motor (CIM @ 5500 RPM) to it.

That system is really cool though, and it looks like it would work. What would the "near free speed" be when the robot is not pushing? I'm sure your team would be interested in that.
