Not for FIRST you won't! I know you're new to FIRST, so I'll point out that gas engines aren't allowed, and very likely will never be allowed as long as FIRST maintains its current format. Fuel storage and spillage are of major concern in the pit areas, and on the playing field.
Also, the emissions and heat from those engines would make working around them hazardous in a FIRST pit area.

If the robot's for something else...enjoy.
