Are they hardened? And is the gear's thickness drawn to scale? They seem rather undersized for a final drivetrain stage. I wouldn't proceed with those particular gears unless you've calculated the gear strength to verify the design—they're just too unlikely to be adequate.
Also, you didn't mean to include a differential, right? (I seem to recall a team having a design similar to this, but with differentials on all wheel pairs. Might have been 1140 around 2005.)
To me, every robot is a moving mechanical art form, a sculpture made of aluminum, motors and gears, and I think that soon we will be seeing those art forms involved in some of the most fantastic robotic "dances" that any of us have ever seen - DougHogg [more]
