Greg,

By the looks of the motors, they are at least similar to the ones that we have used in first with an output of somewhere between 16000 and 19000 RPM. This will be way to high for your robot as is but gearing them down should be rather easy. I would think that 2 per side would move a 90lb robot somewhat effectively. Do you have the tools to build a gearbox for them? I wouldn't use the plastic fisher price gearboxes for a drivetrain, they won't last very long in any real abuse.
