Last year we used the drill motors, with transmission, on our robot and NEVER blew a breaker.
We had a 24 tooth on the drill motor and a 60 tooth on the 8" wheelchair wheels.
We also had the ability to shift gears.
Last year we were able to pull a fully loaded stretcher up and over the teeter tooter with no problem.
One of our secrets was the design of the motor mount. We made them out of aluminum. They were very crude but they were a great heat sink so our motors never got hot. The drill motors were fully enclosed.
