It has relatively high torque and slow speed and doesn't draw a great deal of current.

I utilized the globe motors on my senior design project at Northeastern and would throw a word of caution that these motors are almost impossible to find outside of FIRST. From what I've been told, globe stopped making these motors over 3 years ago, and have been working from inventory up until now.
You may be able to find some globes laying around your shop, or ask another team if they have any spares, but it looks to me that the globe motor we're all familiar with in FIRST, is not coming back.
