Also, if I get the time I'll program it to make mouse noises like squeaks and yips as it moves around.
In your shoes I'd run 2x cimple boxes wiht 1 cim each and with the stock reduction to 2WD. Simple, light, reliable. Put a caster wheel or skid (or omni-wheels) in the "back" where your two driven wheels are not and make sure your battery is near your driving axle.
