Thanks for the info, Kevin and Allen.

I actually have a CIMULATOR left over from building the ball shooter last year. We also got a bunch of RS550's from Banebots using the coupon this year. We would just need to cut cooling chanels in the CIMULATOR so that magic smoke won't come out of the motors so easily. My rough calculations indicate that two RS550's would give a bit more speed (7148rpm vs. 6200rpm) and a lot more power (508W vs. 229W). We would just have to make sure that the motors are wired correctly so they don't fight each other.
