Gearing down motors

We're fairly new to the game of robotics and everything that goes along with it. One question we have is: Are the CIM motors a good motor to run your entire robot off of. We were planning on using the CIM motors this year instead of the drill motors. We had a ton of problems with the drill motors last year. Are we going to have to gear the CIM motors down to run two wheels off each motor? Will the CIM motor be efficient enough to pull two wheels? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
