That said, lukevanoort has a good point, when using the HB-25s using some 30A breakers is a very good idea to protect your investment. Remember the breakers for the Victors, too, I'd say.
Breakers are always good, but based on the picture the overall stall/current load should be pretty light. The weight of the proposed robot should be low.

Trust me, it is really hard to drive, especially if you have no way of stopping the wheels.
I'd put the braking jumper switch on the Victors to the on position.
