Drivetrain experimenting
This summer, a few of my team mates and I are looking at experimenting with certain drivetrains to learn the pros and cons of each combination we can test. Basically, we want to find out which drivetrains have a lot of torque, which ones have a lot of speed, and which ones have a combination of each. So far, we are going to be looking into the following:

CIM motor/Toughbox transmission
CIM motor/Dewalt transmission
Dewalt Motor/ Dewalt transmission

We will also be looking at different types of wheels to see if they have any effect on the torque(for example, if they slip or not).

If anybody else has any other suggestions for motor/transmission combos for us to test, please share. We will probably post our research on here, so if anybody would like a request for a certain drive train, please let us know. Any help we can get is appreciated.
