The more important information about the motor you want to know is how powerful those motors are, instead of just the torque because you can gear the motors so the torque you want. Basically, the more power the motor setup have, the more torque/speed it can output. Because Power = Force(N) X Velocity(m/s) and also = Torque(N-m) X Angular Velocity (Rad/sec). You can learn all these in the wonderful presentations from
Joe Johnson and Michael Ciavaglia.

Here are the power output for each motor setup from one of the presentations in the white paper section:

BOSCH Drill motor: 340w
BOSCH Drill motor with high gear: 260w
BOSCH Drill motor with low gear: 230w
Fisher Price motor: 140w
Fisher Price motor with gear box: 91w
Van door motor: 69w
Globe motor: 63w
Globe motor with gear box: 50w
Seat Motor: 31w
Window Motor: 22w
