So, basically, each wheel is driven independently by either a drill motor or Fisher Price motor? That was my biggest problem.

You said the globe motors were on top. Do they provide the rotation for the "wheel boxes" as an individual unit?

Other than that, I think I understand enough to get past the quandary I found myself in. I had developed enough of the system to rotate the wheels, but no way to drive them. The FP motors would seem to solve that, if the gear ratios and RPMs and such could be made to match the drill motors.

Thanks for your help, and if you come up with a simpler version, let me know.

Jeff
