: Just gear the motors such that all wheels have (nearly) the same free speed over the ground. You can even use different size wheels if you want, in order to get the overall gearing right.

This is just a comment, and maybe an ignorant one, but wouldn't 4WD with 4 different motors suck a little too much battery power?
