I couldn't put my finger on what looked strange about this suggestion and then it came to me. Powering each motor with a separate battery would not allow you to have one single shut off in case the robot went nuts.
There might also be an issue with the controller and speed controllers being on separate power sources. I have had some problems with current flowing through logic blocks when the power source was different.
