: Hello,
: A team I have had some involvement with is considering a 4WD system for thier robot. They are also considering useing 4 motors. My question is, what are the odds that say the van door...or power wheels motors can be made to play nice with the drill motors? I'm envisioning them jamming the sticks and the drill motors going a lot faster then the power wheels. I applogize if this is a fairly naieve/novice question.

Just gear the motors such that all wheels have (nearly) the same free speed over the ground. You can even use different size wheels if you want, in order to get the overall gearing right.
