We have our shooting prototype, but we need to wait for materials to arrive and we are wanting to test our mechanism more. I have read about control panels and such, but thus far our team has been connecting the motor directly to the battery.
Thanks Guys!

if it's only for prototyping, it would be faster to use a power source (AC to DC converter), which allows to control voltage sent to your motors. If you still want to use full power, use gears or a timing belt to reduce your output ratio
Edit : by the way, they're called CIM motors, not SIM
