My current battery setup is:
2 24 volt Nicads for the EV Warriors(for flywheel)
1 12 volt Nicad (it's 2 12 volts running at parallel for extra amp hours)
The drill motors weren't impressive for pushing, but we didn't gear them down, our main weapon was the flywheel. I couldn't tell you how well they did because most of our matches consisted of two-three hits and it was over. Though, they moved us around and in one rumble our belts broke(for the flywheel) and we moved around well enough just no pushing power. Im sure if they were geared they would though. There was another FIRST team at BBIQ (I can't remember their name) they used Drill motors for drive (They won the NY regional I believe..) and did fine. All depends on the gearing im sure. But there are some things those motors wont push.
