Does this info from Robert May and on the LynxMotion site match up with the Type and Model number of the motors that were actually shipped with the kits? - If so, I think you can get most if not all of what you want from it. Robert dug it up back in March for the teams that were prepping for the "Showcase Tournament".

Gearhead motor specs
For those interested, I was able to find the following specs along with the posted link to a data sheet for the Hsiang Neng motors.

Model= HN-GH12-2413T
Weight = 7.15 oz
Reduction = 50:1
Stall Torque = 231.5 oz-in
Length (motor and gear) = 2.33" (5.92 cm)
Length (shaft only) = 0.89" (2.26 cm)
Diameter (motor and gear) = 1.45" (3.68 cm)
Diameter (shaft) = 6mm
Outside Diameter = 37mm
Current (at 12v no load) = 145mA
Current (at 12v locked shaft) = 3.8A
