Yes two drill motors in low gear will drive two full goals up the ramp, BUT, you need traction and you will probably have to gear the output of the drill motors down some to do it effectively. That means less speed. If it is not to late, add the fischer-price motors with a 3:1 or 4:1 gearup. Also, if you lift the goals slightly when you grab them it will add weight to your traction surfaces.

good luck
