It is good this did not work. Per the rules you would have only been allowed to keep two of those motors on the robot at the competition, this would have left you with a robot with serious drive problems and no time to fix it.
The rules only allow the type and number of motors supplied in the kit. Two drill motors means only two on the robot. Of course more can be bought as spares in case you fry. This is a common mistake by rookie, and sometimes veteran, teams. I remember a couple of years ago the kit list said we had a van door motor when we did not. FIRST updated the list but one team showed up at an event with the van door motor on their robot
