However, you can use one motor per gearbox, or an AM Planetary for the FP motors.

Wonder what they're gonna do with three gearboxes :thinks of possibly 6 wheel drive with 3 sets of two wheels:

Wheelie bar wheels maybe??

I'll just be the guy who states the obvious here
How about a heavy lift mechanism? Lots of power not much design needed #35 chain sprockets readily availible in that size. It's a clear chaoice for a team that doesn't want to/can't make their own transmission.

How about a triangular wheelbase with omniwheels? With the gyro provided it should be reasonably easy to build a robot that would always go the direction the joystick is pointed regardless of its orientation (push the stick towards the opposite side of the field and the robot will go that way even if it is facing a different way). It would make for kind of a different driving experience, but it would actually be easier after you got used to it I think. Im gonna draw and post a pic of what im saying.
