Re: Need advice on motors, gearboxes, and ESCs
That's a good start. However, you may like looking at either swerve or holonomic drive because that will give a much greater maneuverability. I'll post an image of my VEX Holonomic robot tomorrow.
Also, what is the gear ratio and what motors are you planning on using? Have you planned that out?

What control system are you planning? A cRIO system may take up all the thirty pounds if not designed correctly. There are many parts, a lot of which are quite heavy!
