You might have a rough time given power limitations of FIRST-legal motors and the battery. Prototype, prototype, prototype... and consider contingency plans.

Pay no attention to the power ratings of shop vacs, they are sales hype. That vac does not produce 2 1/2 HP. They play with inrush current and/or stall current to get the "peak horsepower" rating.
