My team has had problems with the Drill motors clicking too, but with a little playing around we noticed it was due to the motor being jammed in between hi and low gear. Sometimes the gearbox gets a little sticky. Did you try detatching the motor from the gearbox and seing if it'd still run? Just a thought, may not have been your particular problem.

As for the G-Force 'bot, we have a pair of globe motors hooked up to get us on the puck. Unfortunately the system is slightly skewed so the motors wobble a little when we run the roller. We had a problem with one of the wire's snapping off at a point we couldn't get inside the motor. Those wires are small and wimpy, we are now doing everything to keep them from wiggling. We put some heat shrink down into the motor to try to re-enforce the joint and also ziptied the wire to the motor so that the part that wiggled was no longer the joint. Watch those wires!
