What motors do you use to drive your robot?

I personally wouldn't consider using the Globes for driving; they aren't particularly powerful.

I was actually joking about using eight motors (counting the globes) in a drive system. Aside from the current draw thing, there would hardly be any motors left to do anything else or any weight allowance.

On the current draw thing, up to a point, as you add motors (especially in the drive system) there is a tendency to balance the load among the motors and run each motor at a lower current draw.
