How about I accept the level of insanity that this design is already? Honestly, I'm of the position that 3 drive motors per gearbox is insane overkill, and is really quite pointless. The two designs that I've posted came from a discussion with a team member. We'll only build something remotely like this if we plan on defensive play.

Most of the time for a drivetrain, my reduction numbers needed for the desired speeds require a custom setup. If it were possible to get a more reasonable ratio out of the deWalt's, I might use them. Plus, I've had good experience with things I've made, and bad with pre made parts (banebots).
