Reason why I was avoiding stepper motors was that the design I want to do is less of a CNC machine and more of a Roomba that only does certain paths instead of covering every spot of the area. Want to make it easily programmable, so I figured making it act like CNC machine would make that easier. Steppers, as far as I knew, wouldn't be able to drive something like a robot.
