The drill motors aren't designed to drive a robot and it's something that has to be engineered around. Plus I want to think the drill motors are donated....

I think Leese has a point here. How great is it to think "wow I'm moving this robot around using drill motors." What about when you're doing a demo andsomeone asks about the drive train. When you tell them it's drill motors you feel great because you used something other than for its intended purpose. I like the drill motors, they're a good thing.
