Sachiel7, those pictures you gave the links to, you don't even have to get that complicated with drive train design. You can just mount the motors somewhere on the frame, and have the motors in line with the wheels. Just couble the shaft that the wheels are on to the motor, and you have a basic drive system. My suggestion when doing this style drive system is using the drill motors, and remember that one motor is going in reverse. The motors spinning in opposite directions causes one wheel to accellerate faster than the other, but this can be fixed in programming.
