I'm gonna ignore the cost argument. But I'd have concerns if your shooter wheels had any significant mass. There'd likely be some reconfiguring of the ESC required to get it working without starting a small fire.
DC motors can be abused and, given how students tend to do things, that's a good thing. I'd stick with maybe some 550 motors and appropriate VP gearboxes if required.
