Yes you can interface the drill motors however we didn't do it in this paper because they may not be in this years kit.
The Bosch drill motor is perhaps the easiest to motor to make work with the Dewalts: Buy a Dewalt motor, press off the pinion gear, press it on the the Bosch motor, Bore out the motor adapter for the Dewalt to hold the Bosch, Install the motor.

But... ...FIRST had a fire sale on the Bosch motors so I suppose they are not in the kit.

The seat motor is very very easy to use too, but, I have a suspicion (not inside knowledge, but a suspicion) that Keyang is in the same (lousy) position the rest of the auto industry is in and therefore, I think perhaps they are not going to come up with $20K of motors for free for FIRST.

Given my suspicions and my lack of a "spare" to send Joe P for him to reverse engineer, the details of how to implement the Keyang modifications is left for an exercise for the reader. (Lou Oudin will make you the square hole sun if you want -- FYI)
